Literature
Kurslitteraturen består dels av en del som är gemensam för alla studenterna och dels en del som väljs individuellt av studenterna i samråd med kursansvarige. Den gemensamma litteraturen väljs så att det ger en översikt över aktuella forskningsfrågor inom området livscykelanalyser och ger studenterna en gemensam bas. Den individuella litteraturen väljs så att studenterna kan fördjupa sig i någon specifik frågeställning. Kurslitteraturen omfattar normalt ca 500 sidor och består huvudsakligen av vetenskapliga artiklar.
