Environmental Studies Doctoral Programme
Course Description
Environmental studies is a field of science which aims to shed light on the causal relations between elements composing the environment. It finds its scientific base in ecology, and applies basic laws of nature on the conservation of matter and energy.
On observing its surroundings, a question arises inside the human mind, which in turn triggers more advanced observations aiming to obtain satisfying answers until a certain hypothesis is formed. Preceding from this hypothesis procedures of research and experimentation are formed and carried out (by observation and the application of the laws of nature on the conservation of matter and energy), aiming to prove the hypothesised answers to the questions posed, until new theories and theorems are formed which answer questions pertaining to the environment.
In the new paradigm, Environmental Studies was raised from being a Master Programme to a Doctoral Programme. Environmental Studies is a field of science that provides answers to the need for:
- The expansion of studies on the mechanisms of environmental change,
- The expansion of methods of environmental research from the perspective of qualitative and quantitative approaches and a participative form of research, and
- The placement of knowledge on the existence and nature of humans in societal systems amidst studies on natural sciences.
A consequence of the answer above is the need for the development of new indicators, formulas, or theories in environmental sciences which places emphasis on:
- Diagnostics on environmental problems through the study of the processes and mechanisms of environmental change through issues of a social, biological, and physical nature,
- Innovation of methods or means of solving environmental problems, based specifically on Indonesian conditions, and
- Theories on social structures and their place in the environment they inhabit.
Admission to the Environmental Studies Doctoral Programme is obtained through SIMAK UI, a written examination.
