Overview
MIND (ERASMUS MUNDUS Master's programme in Industrial Ecology) is a two-year programme with 120 ECTS, offering a unique Industrial Ecology (IE) education for 15 third country and 10 EU students per edition. Those 25 students can study at two or three universities of the MIND consortium - representing seven universities - that consists of:
University of Graz/Austria (co-ordinator)
Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg/Sweden)
University Leiden (The Netherlands)
Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands)
Waseda University (Tokyo/Japan)
Asian Institute of Technology (Pathumthani/Thailand), and
Rochester Institute of Technology (USA/New York State).
“Industrial Ecology“ (IE) is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining natural, social, as well as technical sciences, which considers in a integrated systemic approach all different levels from global to the local. Issues related to the environment require a systemic approach so that the connections and feedbacks between industrial activity, human activity and ecological processes can be incorporated in the assessment and problem solving. The issue of "industrial ecology" encompasses physical, chemical and biological links and interrelations between several industrial systems as well as between industrial and ecological systems.
The objective of the “Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme in Industrial Ecology” is to offer an international and interdisciplinary Master's programme at the highest level, which allows the participants to make an essential contribution to understanding and proposing solutions to problems in order to support the transition towards a sustainable society.
Requirements
The entry requirements for MIND students are:
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, natural sciences, environmental sciences, economics or social sciences with 180 ECTS, including courses in mathematics/statistics (minimum 12 ECTS) and courses in environmental and systems sciences (minimum 12 ECTS) or an equivalent to those courses. The degree should not be older than five years, and a minimum grade of B according to the ECTS grading system is expected.
