About the EHS programme:

From climate change and biodiversity loss to bio-accumulating toxins and emerging diseases, we are increasingly faced with challenges that are simultaneously social and environmental in nature. The Honours Certificate in Environmental Humanities and Sciences (EHS) gives Master's students at the University of Oslo a platform to deepend their understanding of the complex relationships between humans and their environments in a rapidly changing world.

Environmental Humanities and Sciences is the first Master Honours Certificate to be offered in Norway with an interdisciplinary focus on environmental topics, based at the Oslo School of Environmental Humanities. It runs in parallel with the students' main Master Programme, over the course of two years.
