Master of Natural Resources Management and Ecological Engineering
(M.Na.R.M.& E.E.)
Natural Resources Management is about being committed to the wise use of natural resources.
Sustainability demands internationalisation of environmental management. There is a need for people trained in an international setting.
That is why Lincoln University has joined with BOKU University, Vienna, Austria to produce the innovative Master of Natural Resources Management and Ecological Engineering.
Graduates will become part of the next generation of environmental managers who will play an important role in developing sustainable lifestyles.
Students normally take a minimum of two academic years to complete an M.Na.R.M.&E.E by examination and thesis.
Students are required to study at both Universities, and will finish with a jointly-awarded degree.
How to qualify
A candidate for the M.Na.R.M.& E.E. will have qualified for a Bachelor's degree in Science, Resource Studies, Natural Resources Engineering or the equivalent.
