COP15 Climate Scholarship

In 2009 Denmark offered a number of full scholarships within studies of climate change.

Study climate change in Denmark - apply for a COP15 Climate Scholarship

Climate change is one of the major challenges that our world faces today. In December 2009, Denmark will host the United Nations Climate Change Summit. To emphasise the importance of sustainable climate solutions, the Danish government is now launching the 'COP15 Climate Scholarship' for highly qualified students. The scholarships, which cover both tuition fees and living expenses, are made available for a range of excellent two-years Master's programmes, including MSc programmes in wind energy, environmental engineering or sustainable energy planning.

Background

In line with the overall aim of securing a climate friendly Climate Conference, the Danish Government has decided not to give any gifts or conference-kits for COP15 participants. The resources saved is instead used to create the ‘COP15 Climate Scholarship', which gives a number of international students the opportunity to pursue a masters degree within climate change studies at a university in Denmark.

Climate masters: Agro-Environmental Management

The programme focuses on the pressure that agricultural production and climate changes put on nature and the environment.; Biosystems Engineering

This programme combines biology and technology. You specialise in either automation or environmental technology.; Environmental and Resource Management

This programme combines science and technology with social science. You will learn to identify and solve environmental problems while maintaining the balance between the environment, business and the society.; Environmental Chemistry and Health

In this programme, you will study the effects that harmful substances have to the environment and to humans. You will develop ways to avoid the adverse effects that chemical substances have on the environment and on the people's health.; Environmental Engineering

In the programme, you learn to prevent and solve environmental problems. You will study society's environmental concerns and learn how they can be resolved technically.; Environmental Management

The Master of Science Programme in Environmental Management at Aalborg University is directed at science and engineering students who are interested in topics related to sustainability and environmental management. The programme is designed to meet these new challenges, by integrating inputs from the social and human sciences into the study of planning and engineering. The focus is on how firms, governments, and other organisations can support sustainable development in an economically efficient and socially acceptable manner.; Sustainable Energy

You will learn about environmentally friendly energy techologies and systems. You can specialise in for example Electrical Energy Systems or Energy Savings.; Sustainable Energy Planning and Management

The global demand for sustainable energy, combined heat and power, and higher energy efficiency is growing rapidly. Utilities, local communities, and governmental authorities all over the world face new challenges in planning and implementing these technologies on local, national and international scales.; Technological and Socio-Economic Planning - TekSam

Environmental policy and the global challenge- international, regional and global perspectives; Thermal Energy and Process Engineering

The primary purpose of the educational programme in Thermal Energy and Process Engineering is to provide students with a basic knowledge within thermal, electrical and mechatronic control engineering, enabling students to understand the different energy engineering processes which found the basis for production, distribution and consumption of energy.; Water and Environment

Work with the most important resource in the world - Water; Wind Energy

Wind Energy is about using the energy of the wind. You will learn to design and develop windmills; Wind Power Systems

The primary purpose of the educational programme in Wind Power Systems is to provide students with a basic knowledge within thermal, electrical and mechatronic control engineering, enabling students to understand the different energy engineering processes which found the basis for production, distribution and consumption of energy.
