Master of Science in Sustainability Management
Any human activity has an impact on the environment. Knowing these impacts, and how ecosystems and the natural environment work, is essential to be able to anticipate or mitigate them. The course helps the student to place environmental phenomena in the context of ecosystems and in the natural environment. It provides the basic concepts to understand these phenomena (environment, ecosystem...) and to contextualize environmental impacts (by nature, extent, intensity ...). Likewise, the course will provide information on the physical mechanisms by which different environmental impacts are generated and sufficient information for the student to identify the environmental impacts associated with different types of activities and industrial sectors.

Master of Science in Sustainability Management
The development of cleaner products and services is becoming more and more a need and a catalyst for companies. In this course the necessary tools will be provided to determine the environmental impact associated with them, as well as ecodesign strategies to improve them. The course provides the necessary information to the student to know and be able to apply different tools for environmental evaluation of products (checklists, MET matrix, MIPS, LCA, etc.). It shows the student the applications of these types of tools, including the ecodesign of products and services. The course provides basic notions about the main ecodesign strategies and how to apply them to the design of new products and services. It provides the student with a critical spirit for the analysis of the products and services available in the market, as well as in the use of one of the LCA software tools more used in the World.
