Technology, Environment and Societal Change LUT University

Overview

Climate change, biodiversity loss and the required sustainability transformation bring new challenges to technological, economic, political, and social relations and circumstances.

There is a growing need to solve the sustainability crisis at the interface between people, technology, and the environment. Society and people depend on the functioning of many critical systems (such as energy, water, food, transportation, and digital infrastructures), which are in turn interdependent on natural ecosystems. Making these critical systems more sustainable, just and equitable for people and nature globally and locally is at the heart of this  Technology, Environment and Societal Change programme from LUT University . 

Career prospects

As a graduate of this programme, you will be able to understand the requirements of the sustainability transformation and the governance of various critical systems in transition processes. 

The programme includes solution-oriented approaches and focuses on decision-making at global, national and local levels.

Possible jobs after graduation include corporate sustainability manager, public relations manager, sustainability consultant, environmental policy specialist, sustainability expert, policy officers, or environmental officers. You will also have a firm basis for doctoral studies in the field of social sciences.
