Summary
MSc Environmental Governance tackles some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, examining how governance and policy shape the way we produce, share and consume the world’s resources.
This course will equip you with the skills to critically apply cutting-edge sustainability and environmental theories across different scales and global contexts. With an interdisciplinary approach, you'll learn to understand and challenge the systems that influence our environment today.
You’ll benefit from working closely with leading researchers and internationally recognised experts in environmental governance, political ecology, Marxist political economy and urban sustainability (see the SERG Research Group ).
Alongside academic learning, you’ll engage with real-world practitioners and collaborate with external organisations on live policy challenges.
Whether you're looking to build a career in environmental regulation, policy and management, pursue further academic research, or deepen your professional expertise, this course provides a strong foundation for making a meaningful impact.
And where better to study Geography than Manchester? Once the world’s first industrial city, today it’s a thriving 21st-century hub surrounded by three National Parks.
The city, and its surroundings, provide a rich and diverse setting for hands-on fieldwork throughout your course.
