This is a degree aimed at those who want to engage critically, practically and creatively with global and local environmental problems through different disciplinary lenses. The course brings together theories, methods and insights from the social and environmental sciences and applies these to contemporary environmental issues, debates and controversies.
You are encouraged to take a range of social and natural science modules offered by the Department of Sociology, the Law School and Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) and will have the opportunity to acquire the skills to navigate, interpret and combine these different ways of knowing the environment. There is a strong emphasis on participatory and engaged research, making insights count in engagement with communities and policymakers. Normally, you will take three core modules and three (or more – depending on their weighting) optional modules.

Student view
"While I've been studying here, I've been able to develop confidence in myself because of the support I've had around me here. I know that there's someone in the department I can go to with any issue at all. I think because I had such a great time at my undergrad here, it's why I decided to carry on. I know that the support here is really good and to continue that into my Master’s was something I really wanted to do." - Josh, MA Environment, Culture and Society
