Each student is required to complete either a minimum four-month internship, an ambitious research thesis, or an interdisciplinary group project (AMT track). While the teaching team cannot, for obvious reasons, guarantee internship placement, experience shows that the vast majority of students successfully secure an opportunity that meets their expectations.

This pioneering Master’s program in Climate Change Adaptation has, for over a decade, combined academic rigor with professional relevance. Offered in a blended and flipped-classroom format, it integrates online learning—through regularly updated video modules—with in-person sessions that foster exchange and hands-on experience. Grounded in cutting-edge research, it connects sustainability and adaptation issues to real-world contexts.
Students can tailor their focus through three specialization tracks: engaging directly in the field, exploring deeper societal challenges, or developing advanced technical expertise. Each track combines theory and practice through an internship, a thesis, or a collaborative challenge, rounded out by an immersive serious game experience.
