Summary
Our Global Sustainable Development programme addresses many of the most pressing sustainability challenges of the 21st century, equipping our students to evaluate diverse and contested ideas about what these challenges are and how best to solve them, as well as teaching them the skills needed to develop their ideas in policy directions.
We cover a breadth of environmental, social and economic issues, such as climate change, development, health, energy, policy change and conservation.
Our MSc in Global Sustainable Development is led-by interdisciplinary critical social science. This means that we start from the scientific consensus about human impacts on climate and environments but also with recognition that it is social and political contexts that are preventing vital change. Social science perspectives understand these contexts, for example by being attentive to questions of power, knowledge and politics. Within this, our course pays particular attention to questions of justice and equity. We commit to research-led teaching, academic rigor and teaching you the skills needed to implement research-led change.
