Know more

Students will have the opportunity to study advanced methods in economics and in ecology that will allow them to analyze a variety of environmental questions with an integrated approach. News laws are creating the niche for new jobs at the interface between ecology and economics. This is the goal of this interdisciplinary Master to train students at this interface.

All courses are taught in English and multi-disciplinary: economics courses are given by faculty members and researchers of the Toulouse School of Economics (Université Toulouse 1 Capitole) and ecology courses by faculty members and researchers of the laboratories 'Évolution & Diversité Biologique' and 'Station d’Écologie Théorique et Expérimentale' (Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier).

Graduates of the program may envisage careers in governmental bodies (at national and local levels), supranational organizations, large companies, NGOs, think tanks, as well as in research.

Key features of the Master

• A mix of theoretical concepts and empirical methods
• Assignments based on real cases
