In the words of one of our recent graduates, Sean Meehan: ''I struggled to name what it was that I wanted to study...I was aiming to explore areas that I had found to overlap in the real world but are often studied in isolation: tourism, conservation, sustainable agriculture, resilient communities, culture...then I stumbled across the module list of the MSc Sustainability and Rural Regeneration, and it hit all the points I was looking for.
