Tackle the climate crisis and advance UN Sustainable Development Goals with SOAS's online MSc Climate Change and Development programme.

Designed for current and aspiring climate and development professionals, this programme builds exceptional analytical skills, allowing you to identify low-carbon pathways, address climate impacts, and shape effective adaptation.

Gain critical insight into how today’s development models drive environmental change – and how to transform them for a fairer future.

We use a range of assessment methods designed to reflect different learning styles and develop real-world employability skills – so you’re not relying on a single exam to demonstrate what you’ve learned.

You’ll be evaluated through a mix of innovative practical projects, like creating a policy brief, a patchwork assignment, or fact-checking generative AI participation activities such as video presentations and feedback and reflective written work.
