It also offers you the opportunity to explore these same issues from the perspective of other disciplines, creating a multi-faceted understanding of issues related to natural resource management.

We will equip you with key skills and knowledge about the processes that give rise to environmental degradation and, crucially, possible strategies to effect sustainable change.
