Why study at IIIEE?

We asked our former students and this is what they said:

 

About the Education and the Teachers:

  • Practical approach to learning, e.g. multiple site visits and industry projects, creates a fun and engaging study environment.
  • Multi-disciplinary environment offers many opportunities to learn new things, both from the faculty and your fellow students
  • The EMP programme helps the development of the skills of compromising and conflict resolution in intercultural environments
  • Dedicated staff
  • Impressive network and very valuable lectures from experts in different fields related to environmental urgent matters (chemistry, engineering, law, policy, energy, etc…)
  • Great education for the improvement of oral presentation skills
  • Very illustrating field trips
  • Because you learn to conceive environmental issues with an economic, technical and political eye.
  • Because it is a life lesson to study with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
  • The practical approach of the program - it really does prepare you for working
  • Having access to many brilliant minds (the teachers), many with very hands on experience

About Social Networking:

  • Make friends for life from all corners of the world!
  • Great and crazy intercultural environment
  • An incredible Alumni Network!
  • Access to the alumni
  • Because you make friends and you know that wherever they are, they are doing great things.

 

Sweden, Lund and the IIIEE Building:

  • Because the experience is completely satisfactory: Lund is a great place to live, the Institute is a great place to study, and the people you meet is great to be around.
  • Unique study environment right in the historic centre of Lund
  • Opportunities to experience aspects of Swedish life from food to sauna to nature and back.
  • Beautiful (if not amazing) building
  • Very Swedish environment (this is positive, yes!)
  • Lund is a very proactive city with very open-minded inhabitants and people, always ready to help for any kind of research

 

 

Israa Thiab, Jordan, graduated September 2009:

"I'm now on top of my job for the third week after I've got back to Jordan, and there's a good reason I'm sending this out to you right now.

So far, within the past 2 weeks, believe it or not,  I've been able to relate many of the projects I'm working on right now, to concepts, ideas and practical issues I've learnt with you in the past year... and I can't describe to you how much I'm loving it...  every moment of it... and how much confidence I have in my ability to work in this field. Thus, I want to thank you all for helping me reach where I'm right now... I know it is too early to tell where I'm headed with all of this, but I know it's something promising... and I shall keep you posted and updated"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monica Andrade, Ecuador, graduated 2008:

"Coming from a social science background, my experience at the Institute has been enormously enriching. I have learned to conceive environmental issues from an integral perspective: economic, technical and political. I have also discovered that the knowledge we bring from different backgrounds and cultures can be so easily complemented and brings excellent results when you learn to collaborate and articulate efforts with your peers. This is the best lesson I take with me from the IIIEE!"
