Private and public sector organisations need an appropriately trained, highly skilled and environmentally aware workforce to respond to the challenge of sustainable development and climate change. This one year MSc in Sustainability and Environmental Studies has been successfully addressing this need since 1991.
The Programme and its International Context
This one-year MSc offers an innovative cross-disciplinary approach to the study of environmental management, policy, and sustainable development. It aims to develop an understanding of the broad theoretical perspectives associated with the decision tools used to apply sustainable development policy and management.
Participants will gain an in-depth knowledge of the major environmental issues currently being investigated, monitored and controlled at global, national and local levels and an understanding of the methods and procedures with which environmental considerations and climate change are incorporated into development and planning decisions.
The David Livingstone Centre for Sustainability (DLCS) is a specialist postgraduate unit, dedicated to the provision of cross disciplinary environmental programmes and is a leading centre for interdisciplinary research in the areas of strategic environmental assessment, environmental policy and management, land contamination, pollution prevention and control, climate change, and sustainable development.
DLCS has extensive collaborative teaching and research links across the University and with external academic, governmental and private sector organizations across the UK, Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Thailand and India. DLCS has successfully seen its graduates capitalize upon a wide range of employment opportunities within the private, public and voluntary sectors.
