Courses in this cluster count towards a Bachelor of Science

Are you passionate about protecting the planet and solving real-world environmental problems? In the Environment & Sustainability cluster, you’ll explore some of today’s biggest challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
Living and studying in Zeeland, a region shaped by water, you’ll have a unique opportunity to engage with local environmental issues through the Delta Challenges. From rising sea levels to sustainable land use, you won’t just learn about the problems—you’ll investigate them up close and contribute to real solutions.
As a Liberal Arts and Sciences student, you can also connect this cluster with fields like Government & Society, Business & Entrepreneurship or Data Science & Intelligent Systems to explore how science, policy, and innovation come together in the fight for a more sustainable future. If you’re ready to get your hands dirty and your mind engaged, this is the place to start.
