This master explores the rural-specific socio-spatial impacts of global transformations and how rural regions and communities deal with such transformations in socially and environmentally sustainable and place-specific ways.
You will learn:
- How global and societal megatrends affect local and regional spatial organisations in rural areas, and how rural communities can adapt to that
- How historical nature and landscape values and regional identities can be preserved and enhanced during the transformation processes
- How to manage the social impacts of these transformations in a sustainable way
- How to deal with transitional processes in different professional practices related to rural development
If you want to contribute to sustainable and liveable rural areas, this master is just what you are looking for!
MSc in Economic Geography
Sustainable Rural Futures is a track within the master in Economic Geography. This master provides you with a deep understanding on the unequal spatial and social effects of global megatrends, such as technological, demographic and climate changes. You will dive into topics like economic geographical processes, wellbeing, quality of life, labour market developments and mobility, and how these take shape in different regions along the European urban-rural continuum.
Master Open Day
