| 2 | Basiscursus Master Lerarenopleiding | TEM0105 |
| Bij dit vak doet de student basale kennis en vaardigheden op over het beroep als (vak)docent. Hij volgt daartoe (online) algemene colleges op het terrein van de pedagogiek en didactiek. Daarnaast neemt de student, onder leiding van de vakdidacticus, deel aan fysieke en/of online bijeenkomsten rond vakdidactiek. De student leert hoe een les te plannen en te evalueren, traint in het geven van deellessen, leert wat het betekent om voor een groep pubers te staan en wat hen motiveert en wat het belang is van een veilig leerklimaat. De student krijgt opdrachten mee die uitgevoerd worden in de onderwijspraktijk (Masterstage 1), leert hoe je gegevens verzamelt over die onderwijspraktijk (observaties, interviews, leerlingvragenlijsten) en hoe je die praktijk vanuit de theorie kunt analyseren. De student oriënteert zich daarmee op alles wat hem tijdens het vervolg van de opleiding te wachten staat en bouwt een realistisch beeld op van zijn geschiktheid voor dat vervolg. |

| 12 | Dilemmas in Infrastructure Planning | GEMDILEIP |
| This course focuses on network and governance dilemmas that arise in the planning and realization of different kinds of infrastructure networks. The course consists of four blocks. It starts with a block focusing on the general debates on network and governance theory and translating these debates into two main perspectives: a network perspective and a governance perspective. Subsequently, in the following three thematic blocks, waterway, energy and road infrastructure networks will be covered. Each of the thematic blocks will be discussed on the basis of the network and the governance perspective. After the first two blocks and at the end of the fourth block there will be an exam. In addition, there are mandatory excursions with group assignments, which will result in a group portfolio. Costs may have to be made for these excursions. |

| 13 | Economics of Regulating Markets | EBM148A05 |
The central theme of the course is: how do energy markets, in particular electricity and gas markets, function and how can this be improved by governments (regulators). The functioning of energy markets differs from many other sectors because of the economies of scale of the networks, resulting in natural monopolies, the importance of network balance, the societal objective to radically change the nature of the energy industry (i.e. energy transition) and the fact that energy is a basic commodity which is needed by everyone. Topics to be discussed are among others: how to determine the tariffs that an operator of an electricity or gas network is allowed to charge on users of the infrastructure? How to implement competition in the energy industry, both on wholesale level and retail level? To what extent need the energy markets be changed because of the energy transition in which fossil technologies are replaced by renewable sources (as wind and solar)? How to give incentives to energy producers and consumers to reduce carbon emissions?
Knowledge of economics of regulating market is useful for positions within regulated companies (TenneT, Gasunie, etc.), companies using regulated infrastructures (in particular large energy users), governments (national, EU), regulatory bodies (ACM, ACER, etc.) and consultancies (PWC, Oxera, etc.).
The course not only deals with the economic theory behind the regulation of markets, but also applies this theory to real-life problems in energy markets. The course consists of lectures and tutorials every week. The course starts by discussing the question why some markets, in particular energy markets, need regulation and others not, Then, we discuss how the government could regulate these markets. These first meetings are meant to give the students some theoretical background in economic regulation. Afterwards, we discuss key issues in the daily practice of regulation: benchmarking on efficiency and the determination of the the appropriate reward (i.e. the WACC) on capital which is invested in the network. These questions are highly important for regulated firms as it affects how much profit they are allowed to make and to which extent they are able to finance the investments. Then, we go into in the question how to implement competition in energy markets. We discuss the design of electricity and gas markets on wholesale level and how these markets become more integrated on an international level. We also pay attention to how environmental regulation (like emissions trading and subsidies for renewables) can be designed and how this affects the electricity sector/market. In the final meeting, we pay attention to the retail energy market, discussing how competition can be implemented in markets where the demand is affected by factors like (perceived) switching costs and trust in retailers.
In most weeks, there will be assignments, which are discussed in the tutorials based on presentations by students. In addition, there will be a few extra tutorials where we recap the material and discuss questions of students. This course is part of the focus area 'Energy'. When you focus your MSc on energy subjects you will be awarded an official acknowledgement on your diploma, improving and broadening your career opportunities in the energy sector. Prerequisites are mentioned in the Teaching and Examiniation Regulations: 'Focus areas in the master programmes'. |

| 14 | Energy & Finance | EBM166A05 |
This is a course in the MSc Finance which focuses on risk analysis and valuation in the energy sector, with an emphasis on mathematical modelling of these risks. Almost all methods that are developed and used in financial market analysis can be used in energy markets as well. However, we concentrate on two general aspects in particular and aim to deepen their understanding. These are real option analysis and energy markets and derivatives. First, real option analysis uses the mathematical methods of derivatives pricing to analyze the value of various types of flexibilities in (real) investment projects. Real option analysis so far has only remotely been touched upon in the finance curriculum and is perfectly suitable to apply in the valuation of energy projects. Secondly, we delve into energy risk management as, in energy markets, many risks are related to underlying cost structures and the characteristics of volatility of prices. Power prices for instance are related to the price of fuels and to carbon prices.
In the course Energy & Finance, we investigate how to assess the exposure of firms to a variety of energy risks regarding both their costs and revenues, and study related risk management and investment strategies. This course is part of the focus area 'Energy'. When you focus your MSc on energy subjects you will be awarded an official acknowledgement on your diploma, improving and broadening your career opportunities in the energy sector. Prerequisites are mentioned in the Teaching and Examination Regulations: 'Focus areas in the master programmes'. |

| 16 | Energy Transition & Innovation | EBM167A05 |
| The energy industry has changed, is changing, and must continue to change, in order to become more sustainable. The transition, however, presents faces a number of challenges, such as: (1) social challenges, for example, in terms of social resistance to the change; (2) business challenges, for example, as both emergent green technologies and polluter incumbents look for ways in which to become financially sustainable in the new environment; (3) policy challenges, for example, as governments look for ways in which to incentivise the transition; and (4) marketing challenges, for example, as once niche ideas about sustainability and environmental protection, are mainstreamed. In this course we will explore each of these challenges, we will reflect upon the business opportunities that each creates, and will consider the supporting role of competition and markets. In the process, students will gain knowledge about the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition. |

| 17 | Environmental psychology | PSMSB-2 |
| Ons gedrag levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan milieuproblemen, en omgevingscondities beïnvloeden ons welzijn en gedrag. Hoe kunnen we mensen motiveren om milieuvriendelijk gedrag te vertonen, en hoe beïnvloeden omgevingsfactoren ons welzijn en gedrag? De omgevingspsychologie bestudeert de transactie tussen mensen en hun natuurlijke en gebouwde omgeving. In het eerste deel van de cursus gaan we in op de invloed van de omgeving op het welzijn en gedrag van mensen. Er wordt onder meer besproken hoe omgevingsstressoren (zoals lawaai en stank) en risico's (zoals klimaatverandering) invloed kunnen uitoefenen op het welzijn en het gedrag van mensen. Daarnaast wordt ingegaan op de positieve effecten van natuur voor gezondheid en welzijn. In het tweede deel wordt ingegaan op de invloed van de mens op de kwaliteit van het milieu. We gaan in op factoren die van invloed zijn op milieugedrag en op effectieve en acceptabele manieren om milieuproblemen te verminderen door middel van gedragsverandering. We gaan specifiek in op psychologische aspecten gerelateerd aan energieproblemen, en mogelijkheden om een duurzame energietransitie te stimuleren. Deskundingen van binnen en buiten de vakgroep geven gastcolleges. |

| 22 | Global Supply Chain Man & Sustainability | EBM201A05 |
Globalization has changed the world and has certainly changed supply chain management. Collaboration and coordination across multiple tiers of manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers located in different countries constitute substantial challenges. Geographical distances, cultural discrepancies, institutional differences, laws and tax issues, among others, add to the complexity of global supply chain management. Additionally, the emergence of sustainability as a competitive priority poses an important additional challenge for the management of supply chains. On the one hand because substantial tensions might exist between sustainability and traditional supply chain targets like costs, delivery, quality, and flexibility. On the other hand, growing concerns about the environment might well lead to another period of drastic changes in many globalized supply chains (e.g. distributed manufacturing).
This course aims to enable our students to understand, analyze, and develop strategies to cope with the challenges in designing and managing global supply chains. The course covers the following five main topics:
1. A (historical/economical) perspective on the emergence, the nature and the future of global supply chains
2. Global supply chains: drivers and trends including Offshoring and Reshoring
3. Management of global supply chains (e.g. retail distribution in emerging megacities, relationship with international suppliers)
4. Managing sustainability in multi-tier supply chains
5. Paradoxes and tensions in sustainable supply chain management |

| Environmental challenges (such as climate change) are complex and require expertise from multiple disciplines. Spatial scientists, social scientists, humanities scholars, physical scientists, and engineers need to collaborate to be able to understand and tackle major challenges. Consequently, there is growing interest in interdisciplinary environmental research that integrates the insights from various disciplines. In this interactive course, students will become familiar with how different disciplines study environmental problems, and their main contributions. Students will communicate with scholars outside their own field, and in groups develop an integrative research idea. In the process, they will learn tools to better work in interdisciplinary teams. |

| 29 | Marine Ecosystem Service and Global Change | WMMB008-05 |
Global population growth stimulates pressures of humanity to use marine resources in the deep seas, coastal areas and delta? Marine resources that are exploited or have the potential to be exploited are called ecosystem services. Simultaneously, global change processes impose threats to the ecosystems that provide these valuable services.
This course provides fundamental knowledge and understanding of
i) the concept of ecosystem services,
ii) which services are provided by different marine ecosystems and how do these relate to ecosystem functions,
iii) mechanisms behind the main anthropogenic and global change stressors that threaten ecosystem functions/services, iv) opportunities to benefit from ecosystem services under conditions of global change. Students will acquire practical skills in studying global change processes and quantifying ecosystem services.
Students will develop a critical reflective attitude on how to deal with coastal management for example in balancing preserving and unlocking ecosystem functions and services and determining climate related and non-climate related drivers.
The course includes classroom lectures, presenting assignments, practicals in unique research facilities at NIOZ, such as the SeaweedCentre and wave-flume and a field trip. The lectures will consist of 4 blocks. The first block, the concept of ecosystem services (ES) will be introduced, highlighting the importance of ES for marine ecosystems. The second block focuses on the functioning of marine ecosystems that provide important ES, ranging from the deep sea to shallow coastal areas including delta?. The third block provides fundamental knowledge on the threats to marine ecosystems, e.g. ocean acidification, eutrophication. In the fourth block, threats are linked to challenges and opportunities, e.g. (over-)fishing and deep-sea mining) in benefitting from marine ecosystem services. |

| 30 | Marketing and Consumer Well-being | EBM192A05 |
´Without consumption - at least at the basic level of air, water, food, and shelter - life ceases´ (Mick et al. 2012, p3).
Consumption is a critical determinant of consumer well-being. Marketing plays an essential and central role in fulfilling the needs and wants that drive their consumption behavior. Yet, in many western societies consumption levels have increased to an extent that they actually are deteriorating societal and consumer well-being. The growing demand for and consumption of goods and services has serious societal and personal implications; for example, the overconsumption of energy contributes to environmental pollution and global warming, while the overconsumption of food and the resulting obesity epidemic contributes to a dramatic increase in the cost of health care, while reducing economic productivity world-wide. In response to the negative implications of the (over)consumption of goods and services, a growing number of firms experience an increasing pressure to improve their business practices to help address these negative implications.
This course will focus on the most recent insights pertaining the challenges and opportunities associated with transforming business to contribute to societal and consumer well-being. To accomplish this, this course uniquely merges marketing theory and consumer psychology.
The course takes a business-to-consumer perspective. Specific attention will be paid to sustainability (incl. energy, animal well-being, labor conditions) and personal health and healthy lifestyles.
The group assignment of this course consists of designing a project or intervention to increase consumer well-being, pitching it to the target audience, and preparing a report about it. The project should be related to topics covered in this course, i.e. either the field of health or sustainability/energy transition, and can be a website around a certain topic, a mobile application or another type of intervention targeted at consumers to make them change their behaviour.
This course is part of the focus area 'Energy'. When you focus your MSc on energy subjects you will be awarded an official acknowledgement on your diploma, improving and broadening your career opportunities in the energy sector. Students of this focus area will be admitted to this course, please contact the course coordinator. Prerequisites are mentioned in the Teaching and Examination Regulations: 'Focus areas in the master programmes'. |

| 31 | Masterstage 1 Lerarenopleiding | TEM0205 |
| Bij Masterstage 1 loopt de student stage op een school voor voortgezet onderwijs (in de regel twee dagen per week) onder begeleiding van een vakcoach. Hij verricht observaties, interviewt leerlingen, bereidt (deel)lessen voor, geeft ze en bespreekt ze na met de vakcoach. De student verzamelt informatie en feedback over de kwaliteit van het eigen handelen (o.a. door de afname van een leerlingenquête), rapporteert daarover en beschrijft zijn ervaringen in een stageverslag. De student oriënteert zich daarmee op het leraarschap en leert hoe je in de context van de school onderzoekend kunt werken aan het sturen van je ontwikkeling. In de context van de stage voert de student daarnaast opdrachten uit in het kader van de basiscursus lerarenopleiding (TEM0105), die parallel is georganiseerd aan de stage. |

| 38 | Reinventing Environmental Planning | GEMREENVPL |
| The course discusses recent changes in the field of environmental planning related to the emergence of sustainable development as a prime governance guideline. The course explains how sustainable development challenges the reliance on reactive and regulatory based policies that have long been common in environmental planning in many countries. Sustainable development is presented as a call for more proactive policies that integrate environmental concerns in overall governance activities. These calls for governance renewal are connected to wider shifts in both planning theory and practice, away from command and control policies towards a richer variety of policy approaches, inspired by for example market processes, public and private partnerships, communicative rationality, transition management and multi-level governance. While discussing recent changes in environmental planning, students are invited and stimulated to develop a critical and constructive attitude, while drawing on a ‘post-contingency’ perspective for identifying various theoretical arguments supporting and doubts regarding these changes. Students will subsequently be shown examples of changes in environmental planning, related to five dominant environmental issues: urban development, nature and biodiversity, climate change, air pollution and energy. Students will be invited during a written essay exam to critically discuss and reflect on recent changes in environmental planning. Finally, through assignments, students need to show their ability to make theoretically supported and well-argued choices between different planning strategies and measures when faced with different issues and circumstances. |

| 44 | Social Impact Assessment | GEMSOCIMAS |
| Social Impact Assessment (SIA) can be simply defined as the processes of managing the social issues of projects. To some extent, SIA is the social equivalent of environmental impact assessment (EIA) and is part of the impact assessment family (which also includes Strategic Environmental Assessment, Biodiversity Impact Assessment, Health Impact Assessment, Human Rights Impact Assessment, Technology Assessment), but over time SIA has developed to be mostly about the management systems used to address social issues (at multiple levels) rather than just being a regulatory tool to determine whether project approval should be given. Sometimes, it is called ‘Social Performance’. SIA does work with regulatory agencies to contribute to decision-making and approval processes; however SIA also works with the proponent of a development plan to improve projects through project (re)design, site selection, and design and implementation of mitigation measures and monitoring programs. In addition, SIA works with project financiers (especially international financial institutions) to determine social risks and whether project financing should be approved. Finally, SIA works with NGOs to ensure projects meet international standards; and SIA works with impacted communities to assist in coping with change and planning for positive futures. SIA is best conceived as a discourse or paradigm about the management of the social issues of projects, and as being much more than the technocratic or bureaucratic procedure EIA is. This course enables students to learn about the important role SIA can play in assisting in the better implementation of planned interventions (projects, plans, policies, programmes). Upon completion of the course, students will have an increased awareness of the social impacts of spatial interventions and will be able to put this learning into practice. |

| 47 | Sustainable Energy Supply | EBM202A05 |
The energy transition creates many challenges in the supply of renewable energy sources:
- The supply network has to be redesigned
- Unbalanced supply of wind and solar energy requires storage solutions such as hydrogen with implications for transport
- Offshore wind farms and other new solutions raise needs in terms of service logistics and asset management
In the first half of the course an introduction into the main issues raised by sustainable energy supply is provided. In the second half of the course students will work on real-life projects in a specific domain. Quantitative energy data will be used. Projects for different levels of quantitative skills will be provided. |

| 53 | Transitions in Water Management | GEMTRWATM |
Due to continuous urbanisation and the increasing impacts of climate change, flood risks in delta areas are increasing, and, as a consequence, water management is high on the international political and societal agenda. Worldwide, the need is recognized to develop strategies and measures to adapt land use to the already occurring effects of climate change, and to develop integrated and adaptive approaches for dealing with water issues in low-lying urban deltas. The development and implementation of these integrated and adaptive approaches is however not an easy task, as they often involve a substantive and/or governance transition in water management.
Drawing on a theoretical exploration of the nature of water transitions (including the notions of flood resilience and adaptability in both planning and design), and the way in which transitions can be managed, the course focuses on identifying current transitions in water management in relation to climate change, and on discussing issues and dilemmas in the attempts to manage these water transitions in establishing resilient delta areas. Through a group assignment, students will develop the capacity to suggest practical strategies and possibilities for water transition management for specific planning situations. |
