The first students of an international master’s degree programme in managing environmental and climate change in the Mediterranean Basin are impressing their lecturers with their energy.
The programme, known as MEHMed, involves eight universities in the Maghreb region and three in Europe. The project is part of the European Union’s Erasmus Plus programme. Its aim is to train university graduates who wish to specialize in the professional analysis and management of environmental problems specific to the Mediterranean basin.
Khaled Faudel, one of the lecturers on the course from Algeria’s University of Constantine 3, told Al-Fanar Media: “It is not yet possible to pass judgement on the programme because the students have not been tested in the workplace, but there are indications the project is succeeding because of the students’ eager approach to learning and research.”
