Student Courses

The ABS Nordic Master Programme, EnCHiL is a two-year programme on environmental changes at higher latitudes. The programme combines high-level university studies with practical experience on the Arctic.

The ABS network enables a number of intensive courses. One is the periodically arranged Climate Change effects on the Arctic, also known as the Greenland Summer Course. There are even other courses, arranged by the ABS network universities and Climate University and a view to PEEX benchmarked courses.

Education is enabled with Nordplus Programme funding. The ABS network universities provide the curricula, application, admission, and course practicalities. Always check the latest with the organizing university!
