Modules

This degree has three stages. To start Stage 1, you’ll be introduced to the interdisciplinary study of environmental issues, before covering global challenges such as legacies of colonialism and enslavement, digital technology, how social science helps us understand those challenges and how you can respond to them as an active citizen. As you do so, you’ll explore some of the environmental issues affecting the Arctic, the Nile, the Amazon, China, the oceans, and key world cities, as well as themes such as inequality, rights and justice. At Stage 2, you’ll use the insights of the natural and the social sciences to explore why environmental issues such as biodiversity loss, water security, climate change, and food production pose such significant challenges and understand how matters of environment and society are so thoroughly entangled. At Stage 3, you’ll explore the many debates and dilemmas involved in developing environmental policy as well as gaining the interdisciplinary tools for understanding, researching, and communicating contemporary environmental issues.
