Industrial Ecology (MSc)
Why Leiden University?
We offer a unique joint-degree master’s programme where you can learn about the ‘science of sustainability’: Industrial Ecology.
Education at two world-class universities
The Master’s in Industrial Ecology is a co-operation between Leiden University and Delft University of Technology. Both universities are at the forefront of the field of Industrial Ecology. Since the 1980s, long before 2004 when the programme of IE started, the research groups on sustainability issues with a problem owner from industry, government or research institute have gained international respect. Both universities contribute to the overall teaching programme. Part of the programme will be followed in Delft and part in Leiden. At the end of the programme you will have earned a joint degree in Industrial Ecology from Leiden University and Delft University of Technology.
