The need for sustainable development is a global imperative. As governments around the world strive for Net Zero amidst our current climate crisis, an understanding of how we can preserve our natural resources, maintain our supply chains, and ensure that our environment is positively impacted rather than degraded is becoming increasingly vital. Our MSc in Environment and Development prepares you to address the challenges faced in safeguarding the planet’s ecosystems in an increasingly complex and fast-developing world. This Master’s in Environment and Development is ideal for anyone with an undergraduate background in natural or social sciences related to the environment. Nevertheless, we are also very interested in hearing from students with alternative academic or practical backgrounds, including business and commerce, government and the not-for-profit sector.
