Why study BA Environment and Social Change​ at Goldsmiths


This programme will teach you a critical understanding of contemporary environmental issues, and empower you to develop key interdisciplinary skills for social and environmental research, creativity, communication, and activism.

- Become an agent of social change and progress towards a career as an expert in environment and sustainability, cultural transformation, and social justice- From climate change and biodiversity loss to racism, inequalities, and migration; it is more important than ever that we respond to the challenges of the twentieth century and drive social change locally and worldwide- On this unique BA programme, you engage with cutting-edge, interdisciplinary approaches to address the urgency of contemporary ecological crises in creative and thoughtful ways- You will develop your theoretical knowledge whilst learning practical skills to investigate the relationships between humanity and the environment. Drawing insights from across the social sciences, you will be encouraged to explore the social, cultural and political dimensions that shape contemporary environmental issues- We encourage bold, innovative and creative engagement with questions, theories and ideas, as well as the development of relevant skills and methodological tools that empower you to become both rigorous researchers and agents of social change- This programme draws on Goldsmiths’ strengths and leadership on environmental issues, including its leading role in the development of a comprehensive climate education and its Green New Deal
