Bachelor in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability

Hear directly from one of our students on why she chose IE School of Science and Technology, and how our immersive experiences supported her journey to a job offer from Amazon.

From analyzing environmental DNA to understanding the chemical, physical and geological processes that shape our planet, our four specialized laboratories provide hands-on experience across key scientific disciplines. Working in small groups and using state-of-the-art equipment, you will apply scientific methods, analyze real samples, and develop strong technical and analytical skills. This interdisciplinary approach allows you to explore different areas before specializing, while engaging with the level of rigor, experimentation and data-driven work required to address real environmental challenges.

We aim to mainstream sustainability into all aspects of the university. We want to inspire people to alter their habits to strengthen a more permanent behavioral change. We are committed to fostering environmental and ethical stewardship as well as promoting increased awareness and public understanding. We want to help people think and act in ways that nurture a more sustainable planet: embracing global citizenship, social responsibility, climate action, the use of renewable energy and recycling, as well as fighting against biodiversity loss. This way people can appreciate that individual actions are not isolated events but contribute to an interconnected system that determines the well-being of both humans and the planet.
