The programme Sustainable Technology is based on the concept of Industrial Ecology with focus on the understanding of interactions between technical, economic, social and ecological systems and processes.

Industrial Ecology can also be considered as a concept for how industry, or rather the entire industrial society of today, will work in the future in order to reduce its interference with the life-supporting ecosystems of the world. Risk Assessment is also a very important area in sustainable development that includes issues such as comparing risks between different energy solutions, communication of risks between different stakeholders etc.
Technology is an important driving force for economic development and technology and communication are two essential factors in the development of more sustainable societies. Without new sustainable technologies, it will not be possible to attain economic growth and global equity. Without communication skills, it will not be possible to reach consensus in the democratic processes in society for different new technologies. These insights will be the foundation in the Master’s programme in Sustainable Technology.
The Sustainable Technology programme is divided into two branches, Environmental Management or Environmental Technology, a choice the students will make in the middle of the programme.
