Internationally-renowned
Unique in Europe, and one of only a few in the world, this internationally-respected MSc programme offers you the chance to develop a holistic approach to outdoor education with a specific emphasis on environmental and sustainability education.
This programme will prepare you for a career in which you will facilitate learning that focuses on themes of environmental, sustainability, and ecological education.
Exit routes
There are three possible exit levels:
- Certificate (60 credits)
- Diploma (120 credits)
- Masters (180 credits)
The Certificate programme provides a broad theoretical coverage of the field of study.
The Diploma extends this with further academic study and a Professional Development Programme (involving field courses such as canoeing, introduction to group leadership and navigation techniques, and a teaching placement/practicum), which provides a broad base for a professional career in outdoor environmental and sustainability education.
The Masters extends this further still with a dissertation.
What will I learn?
- The emphasis - whether Certificate, Diploma, or Masters - is on developing the knowledge, understanding, and judgement necessary to facilitate meaningful learning in, for, and through the outdoors.
- You will consider a range of connected subject areas as well as the particular demands for teaching these in a variety of settings, from schools, residential centres, and ranger sites, to charitable/not-for-profit organisations.
- You will develop your intellectual skills through critically assessing theoretical, professional, and academic issues while honing transferable skills such as environmental literacy and oral communication.
- You will also expand your understanding and personal practice of educating outdoors through a range of professional development activities.
- Courses take place at our Edinburgh campus and multiple bases in the Highlands of Scotland from where you will journey by boat or on foot to live and learn in the outdoors.
