The MSc in Sustainable Development explores the socio-economic, political, and environmental aspects of the inter-relationships between human development and sustainability. You will develop an interdisciplinary understanding of sustainable development questions and concepts as well as learn skills needed for sustainability-related careers. Degree structure and content helps students with limited direct subject experience to develop advanced knowledge and understanding. Interdisciplinary character allows you to use ideas from different disciplines to illuminate your studies. Critical study of socio-economic, political, and environmental aspects gives a remarkable richness and depth compared with conventional single-subject degrees. The course considers sustainability from the perspectives of the public, businesses, and policymakers and the relationships between academia, policy, and society. Integrated training programme connects your academic learning with the development of professional competencies that enhance employability.
