Questioning what you thought you knew about sustainability and the environment, we’ll inspire you to face society’s major sustainability challenges.

We also provide insight into the latest thinking in numerous important areas, covering the tools essential for analysing the relationship between environmental issues and human society. As part of this approach, you will evaluate political, socio-economic, ethical, cultural and regulatory frameworks. You will acquire a sensitive appreciation of the issues surrounding sustainable development and an understanding of the theory and application of sustainable development.

Our course also gives you the opportunity to hear from a wide variety of external speakers from industry, government and NGOs who are active in establishing sustainable development. They’ll provide you with real insights into their organisations.

It is also worth noting that our course provides a route to the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment graduate membership.

About this course

As our world rapidly progresses, how can we better protect our planet?

In the wake of the 2015 United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals, our MSc in Sustainable Development gives you the knowledge to help organisations towards a greener future.

Our MSc in Sustainable Development is run by our Centre for Environment and Sustainability (CES) – a centre for forward-thinking environmental and sustainability-related research and postgraduate teaching.

CES accommodates a wide range of disciplines dedicated to resolving environmental problems, and this course will prepare you to join a new generation of environment and sustainability professionals ready to tackle the strategic challenges ahead.

Graduates of this course go on to a diverse range of careers implementing sustainable development and dealing with the real environmental challenges facing humanity.

You could work as an energy efficiency officer for a local government or an environmental officer in a multi-national chemical company. Studying this course could also lead to you starting a career as a sustainability adviser for a national television or radio station or working as an environmental consultant for an engineering consultancy. You could also become a programme officer with a sustainability charity.

Other graduates use the research skills they have developed to go on and do PhDs.
