Sustainable development and environmental management are two key challenges faced by the Global South. It’s a topical and fast-growing field — with a lot of opportunities to make a real difference in the world.

Our Environment and Development MSc will give you the platform to investigate the debates and challenges associated with international development and how to achieve environmentally, socially and economically sustainable solutions for the future.

As part of our Environment and Development MSc degree, you'll be provided with high-quality interdisciplinary training in the operations of the Global South, alongside teaching in environmental policy, political ecology and global inequalities.

Led by the Sustainability Research Institute, this Masters degree has a strong focus on sustainable development, bringing together a wide range of expertise from the School of Earth and Environment, School of Politics and International Studies and industry partners. You’ll also have the chance to meet and build your own links in industry through our connections with key players in environment and development worldwide.

Once you graduate, you’ll be fully equipped with the extensive knowledge, skills and practical experience sought after by both the public and private sectors to deliver solutions in critical areas like sustainable economic development and environmental conservation.
