Welcome to MEG!
The M.Sc.programme Environmental Governance (MEG) was established in 2005 to train leaders to be able to reconcile different social perspectives with regard to the sustainable use of environmental resources as a basis for sustainable development - for any development, at any scale from local to global, and in any context worldwide. Every year, around 35 outstanding students are selected based on criteria of excellence and geographical representation.
The “Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst” (DAAD) has selected the MEG programme as a development-related postgraduate course (EPOS) and is offering a number of scholarships for candidates from the Global South with two years work experience. More information here.
