Development and Natural Resource Economics (Master)
Lars MørkThis Master programme in economics tries to answer some of the most basic – and complicated – questions today. Why do one billion people still live in poverty? Why are natural environments, such as rainforests, being overexploited? What policies can lift the poor out of poverty while maintaining the resource base?
At UMB you will study at one of Norway’s leading schools in economics, with an international reputation in the fields of environmental economics, energy economics and development economics.

Study and career opportunities
"Although I grew up in a Uganda which is a developing country too, I have spent almost all of my life in the city where life is very different from rural areas. Save for a few visits, I had never really experienced rural life the same way rural people do every day for all their lives. In this case I had to walk long distances like they do, feel their dire need for clean water, scarcity of food, uncertainty about the future for themselves and their children and a general lack of the basic necessities.
With this field work, I came face to face with the daily realities of rural life in poor countries and I felt their pain. It has made me realize how important my contribution to socio-economic development is and appreciate my profession even more."
