Overview

About the Programme

This perspective is taken from a holistic standpoint to include all environmental aspects, from the harvesting raw materials to their disposal once they have become waste and all of the stages involved in their physiochemical transformations. Using this framework, the doctoral programme in Natural Resources and Environment proposes a series of lines of research that, for the 17 years that it has existed, has fostered greater awareness of environmental conservation in the use of natural resources.

The objective of the Natural Resources and Environment programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia is to provide advanced education and training in the aspects pertaining to research into the utilisation of natural resources and its impact on the environment. The programme offers candidates the possibility to obtain a master’s degree in Natural Resources Engineering (MsC) to accredit their high level of achievement, which includes experimental and field work.
