Summary

Combine expertise in environmental science, business, and ecology through this innovative interdisciplinary master’s degree. Designed to address the urgent global need for professionals capable of implementing nature-based solutions, reaching net zero, and enhancing resilience, the MSc Natural Capital and Sustainability provides you with scientific, financial, and policy knowledge to lead meaningful environmental change. Based in London, a global centre for environmental research, green finance, and sustainability innovation, you’ll have access to top-tier events, networks, and organisations influencing our planet's future.

You will explore how natural systems can be valued, restored, and managed to support both ecological integrity and sustainable investment. Core modules cover key themes such as natural capital and ecosystem services, environmental restoration and rewilding, biodiversity loss, sustainable finance, and environmental values. You will gain an advanced understanding of how scientific, economic, and ethical perspectives intersect in the design and delivery of sustainability solutions.

You will also develop practical skills in data acquisition and environmental analysis using a range of field, laboratory, and geospatial analysis methods, with the opportunity to apply these in your research.

A major component of the programme is the individual research project, where you have the option to work with an external sustainability organisation and/or on ongoing research projects led by the teaching team. This project allows you to apply your learning to real-world challenges, supported by expert supervision and potentially opening doors to future employment or further research.
