Inside Environment and Sustainable Development MSc

About Environment and Sustainable Development MSc

The Environment and Sustainable Development MSc is uniquely defined by our efforts to bridge theory and practice to address the world’s most pressing socio-environmental challenges in the context of climate change and uncertainty. By focusing on urban settings of the Global South and wider linkages, we take an interdisciplinary approach, integrating feminist political ecology, environmental justice and systems thinking.

In addition to grounding theory in current debates, as an Environment and Sustainable Development MSc student you will also be exposed to real life situations through an overseas practice engagement. This is the practical component of our course where you will acquire direct experience in knowledge co-production by taking part in action-learning alliances established with our long-term partners and various communities working towards transformative change. You will be guided by our academic staff at the forefront of research, practice and consultancy, participants, and be exposed to cutting-edge thinking and approaches for how to address environmental challenges through various entry points such as nature-based solutions, climate change adaptation and resilience, sustainable infrastructure and services, food and agriculture, environmental governance and management and a thorough understanding of urban and peri-urban linkages.
