SP characteristics
The Master in European Environmental Economics and Policy (M3EP) addresses the environmental policy and green transition landscape in the European Union and beyond which is rapidly evolving. Drawing on the diversity of environmental regulation experiences across the EU, the M3EP brings together five leading European universities with the shared ambition of offering a novel Joint Master programme that will graduate a new generation of experts versed in European Environmental Economics and Policy in order to help the public, non-profit, and private sector realize the European Union’s vision of a European Green Deal and the Environmental Action Programme.
The M3EP targets students with an undergraduate qualification in economics, public policy, or political science, and with a desire to engage in shaping and implementing environmental policies in both the public and private sector.
The M3EP starts with a common first year in Copenhagen where an annual cohort of 40 students jointly receive foundational courses focusing on environmental economics, policy, and politics in a European context of green transition. In the second year, students are distributed across five differently focused mobility tracks located in Heidelberg, Milan, Prague, or Warsaw (in Prague, the students focus on Policies and Politics of the Green Transition). Here they attend specialized courses and conduct thematically focused thesis work, providing more specific and individualized competence profiles.
The M3EP combines advanced training in environmental economics and policy with problem-oriented multi- and transdisciplinary training and excursions in an in-presence format. Graduates will be versed in the conceptual foundations, analytical and data-science methods, and integrated problem-solving techniques of economics and policy – competences that are instrumental for these future environmental policy workers to successfully design, implement and analyze policy solutions addressing the complex environmental challenges facing European and international societies today, ultimately facilitating the sustainability transition.

Graduate profile for the public:
Students will be equipped to face both the increasing integration of European labour markets for environmental specialists and experts and the increasing integration and harmonization of European environmental policies. They will become familiar with the diversity of influences, initial conditions, political economies, institutions, intellectual cultures and political processes that characterize the European environmental policy landscape. They will understand not only the integrated approach to the economic tools and concepts that increasingly shape modern environmental policy, but also the political and institutional factors that shape how these tools and concepts ultimately translate into policies in practice in a national, European and global context.
