Joint Master Programme in Sustainable Development and Circular Economy
Sustainable development and the circular economy aim to balance economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection. By minimizing waste, optimizing resources, and promoting long-term sustainability, they create a more resilient and efficient future.
Introduction to the Programme
This Joint Master’s Programme was proposed by Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iaşi (TUIASI) and would prepare students to drive sustainability in public institutions, businesses, and investment projects. Covering economic, social, and environmental aspects, it equips graduates with expertise in policy coordination, resource efficiency, environmental assessment, and circular economy tools. Students gain practical skills in sustainability consulting, digital tools for resource management, and corporate responsibility, opening career paths in public administration, regional development, and environmental protection. This programme empowers future leaders to implement sustainable solutions and contribute to a greener, more resilient economy.
Qualification
Graduates of the programme will receive an EQF-level 7 diploma.
Target group
Environmental Sciences and Engineering graduate students interested in working in the field of sustainable development represent the leading target group. Students from economics, public administration, or social sciences could also be interested, as national regulations require every public institution to have a responsible of sustainable development assessment for any investment.
