To meet net-zero targets, reduce waste and combat pollution wholesale change is needed in the way we consume natural resources. For such a change to happen, policy-makers, business and communities around the world need to be engaged. From circular economy and resource efficiency to planetary economics and environmental law, we train future sustainability leaders with the knowledge and tools to drive this change.
“The benefits of having a specialised MSc from a world-class university has given me a competitive edge when applying for jobs related to my area of expertise. My degree, combined with a few years of work experience, has given me the credentials needed to successfully apply for intermediate-level jobs rather than starting in an entry-level position.” Shaun James Micallef, EPEE MSc Graduate, Senior Economist- Cambridge Econometrics
