MSc Global Sustainability (Online)

SOAS University of London

The online MSc Global Sustainability at SOAS will prepare you to lead change in a complex world.

Environmental crises and sustainability are fundamentally connected to both global economic and policy processes and local contexts. You will develop the ability to critically analyse these global to local drivers of change and to design evidence-based policy responses to advance equitable, inclusive, and impactful solutions to sustainability challenges.

Alongside core modules, students can study across a range of related topics from across disciplines such as development studies, politics, law and anthropology. Combining rigorous academic training with real-world applications, the programme enables students to turn theory into action. Instead of exams, we use a range of assessment methods designed to reflect different learning styles and develop real-world employability skills, giving you a real opportunity 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.
