Attention:
In the academic year 2023-24, the language level requirement is introduced according to the MCERL of Spanish for non-English speaking students in the case of admission to the University Master’s Degree offered only in Spanish: "If the university degree granting access to the master’s degree has been obtained in an educational system whose official language is not Spanish, a knowledge of the Spanish language at level B1 must be accredited, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages, before the date set for each Admission Phase. Those who can prove Spanish nationality or a Spanish speaking country will be exempt from this requirement".
The University Master's in the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Services by the University of Almeria aims to train professionals with an environmental profile framed in the leading paradigms, methodologies and techniques of environmental research and management.
It will also provide students with up-to-date knowledge on the sustainable use and valuation of ecosystem services, as well as the tools and methodology for environmental resource management, all within a multidisciplinary approach. Among its generic teaching objectives, the master's programme:
- Provides students with advanced and innovative knowledge about the causes, components and disturbances related to the functioning of the Earth system, as well as the tools and methodology for their study, monitoring and impact mitigation.
- Provides multi-disciplinary learning under the sustainable-use paradigm so that, at the end of their studies, students have solid training that will enable them to successfully manage their professional career in various work sectors related to sustainable natural resources management.
Suggested profile for newly enrolled students
The applicant's profile will preferably be that of students with the basic scientific knowledge necessary to understand, interpret, analyse and explain the knowledge of their field of study.
Self-learning skills and skills to define objectives, develop plans and select techniques of action are also valued, as well as the attitudes and values that mean that they will address the situations faced professionally with an ethical commitment to proceed appropriately.
Furthermore, the applicant should have acquired at least a basic series of transversal competencies that contribute to developing the following capacities: synthesis, problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork, self-reflection and skill upgrading.
From the academic standpoint, and given the Master’s multidisciplinary nature, the appropriate student access profile will be someone who studied in the Earth Sciences and Environment knowledge areas. Thus, this degree is directed preferably at graduates in Environmental Sciences, Biology, Marine Sciences, Geography, Geology and Forestry, Agricultural, Mining or Civil Engineers who wish to apply their knowledge and skills to understanding, evaluating and monitoring processes related to natural resources and ecosystem services assessment, as well as to methods and techniques for adaptively managing the effects of Global Change.
