Ensuring the environmental sustainability of society is one of the most significant challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.

How can the needs of the world’s growing population be met without threatening the ecological processes that support human well-being?

How can economy and energy systems be restructured to combat climate change?

What policies foster sustainability?

With the MSc Environmental Sustainability, students can explore these questions and other significant challenges affecting the world today and in the future.

Students will be encouraged to think across different disciplines to blend scientific, socio-economic, and policy perspectives to better understand sustainability and how it can be achieved. They can explore critical social and global issues and ways to address these to benefit individuals, communities, societies and the world. The programme gives students an international perspective, focusing on regions in both the ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’
