Are you passionate about achieving sustainability in rural regions? Do you want to learn the theory, policy, and practice of sustainable regeneration to more fully understand how you can make a real difference? Whether you’re already working in this field or want to explore your growing interest in the future of rural areas, this unique online course is ideal for your needs.
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. The course is well structured, with a cohesive central message; it allows lots of freedom to pursue your own interests.”
Work with industry experts as you learn about social, economic, and environmental theories and issues in the rural context, as well as developing key research and policy analysis skills in the interdisciplinary field of sustainability.
Explore vital sustainability skills such as how to work well with communities, understand geographic information system (GIS) mapping, and undertake environmental impact assessments, as well as topics such as extreme weather, economics of community wealth building, greenhouse gas auditing, and carbon footprinting.
Forge your own path in the drive to net zero in remote and rural regions and let us prepare you for a successful career in this essential field.
