Course content

This MSc Sustainability programme is designed as a research-led, applied interdisciplinary programme that considers sustainability in both developed and developing societies, and addresses critical global challenges. These include: enabling population health and wellbeing in an increasingly stressed planet; delivering food and water to an urbanising world; understanding the present and future development impacts of patterns of settlement, land use and land cover change; understanding the inter-dependencies between people and the planet; preparing for the impact of climate change and weather extremes on people and places.

Taught by research-active world-class academic experts from multidisciplinary backgrounds, the programme equips students with applied skills as well as specialised problem-solving and critical thinking skills in tackling sustainable development issues and offers a solid foundation for developing careers in the public, private and third sectors as well as national and international agencies such as the United Nations, FAO and DFID.
