Course summary
MSc Environmental Governance tackles some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, examining how governance and policy shape the way we produce, share and consume the world’s resources. This course will equip you with the skills to critically apply cutting-edge sustainability and environmental theories across different scales and global contexts.

And where better to study Geography than Manchester? Once the world’s first industrial city, today it’s a thriving 21st-century hub surrounded by three National Parks.
