Master of Science in Environment and Global Development

Program Overview

Are you passionate about making development more sustainable? Do you want to understand how environmental issues affect poverty alleviation? Are you a natural resource specialist? If so, this course is for you.  

Our dynamic MSc Environment and Global Development programme offers a unique interdisciplinary approach. All environmental issues derive from natural processes, but they’re influenced by social and political factors too. A key focus of our MSc is on the political ecology approach to understanding the debates and policy processes underpinning global responses to environmental and natural resource problems.

Interest in the global environment and development has never been so intense. Environmental issues and problems have long been on local and national agendas, but increasingly over the last 30 years, they’re on international agendas too. On this vibrant one-year full-time Master’s course, you’ll study natural processes, social issues and political implications, developing your own unique viewpoint.  

You’ll explore the interaction between the environment and global development by analysing policy processes at local, national and international levels. You’ll look at a large cast of actors – including policy makers, politicians, business administrators, and rural and urban resource users – to see how they interact. Plus, you’ll develop a wide range of critical and constructive skills, analytical techniques and contextual knowledge to advance your understanding of these complex processes.   

You’ll graduate equipped with a wide range of knowledge and transferable skills, unlocking opportunities for a variety of rewarding careers both in and beyond international development.
