Location of The University of Manchester
The World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 underlined the extent to which, over the past decade, environmental considerations have become central to development policy and management. As a result, there is a growing need for policy makers, planners, and managers to be fully conversant with the environmental dimension of development. This programme aims to meet this need by linking environmental understanding grounded in the physical sciences with study of the social and economic bases of planning and managing development. It provides participants with a thorough conceptual framework and the skills necessary to analyse effectively the relationships between environmental issues and development processes, and critically assess policies and their implementation. It is intended for social science graduates or for those concerned with policy-making, planning or management in environmental or development-related fields.
Special features An overseas field visit is an integral part of the programme. The cost of the visit is included in the programme fee. In addition, participants may undertake research visits to organisations applying information systems in practice in the UK. Fieldcourses may be scheduled at any point during the twelve-month period of the degree programme and this may include during University vacations. Successful applicants are expected to be available to attend
