Program details
Overview
Rather than concentrating on one narrow field, this Masters builds practical skills and methods for sustainability work, which makes it open to people arriving from many academic routes. Early units introduce the foundations of the discipline, from frameworks for sustainable development and the measurement of progress through indicators, to the logic of circular resource use. A core strand in data science equips learners with the quantitative tools needed to read environmental evidence critically.
The programme draws on the department's research expertise and aims to produce graduates ready for professional work. Teaching blends competency building with exposure to emerging technologies and current debates in the field. Students leave with a toolkit that supports their ambitions to contribute to a more sustainable economy and society, whatever discipline they started from.
