Master of Science in Environmental Science (General)
About the programme:
The prevailing socio-ecological problems require a multidisciplinary approach that transcends the usual boundaries of science and decision-making. An integration of natural sciences with social sciences and humanities in a holistic study of the world around us is required to achieve the objectives of the programme. This programme trains students in wide-ranging interdisciplinary thinking skills and provides them with the ability to study and understand the environmental and sustainability issues with special reference to Northeast India. The course includes the biological and social aspects that relate to current environmental issues, conservation strategies, legal aspects, basic ecological and technological concerns and advances, and scientific analysis and solutions to environmental problems. The programme offers two specializations that a student can opt from – Waste Management, and Culture and Environment.
