Course summary
This MSc enables students to develop critical learning and applied skills in the field of contemporary sustainability. Develop your knowledge and understanding of sustainability theory, principles and practice and be empowered to influence and progress policy and planning solutions for the environmental and sustainability challenges faced by government, business and regulatory bodies. Our MSc in Sustainability, Planning and Environmental Policy (accredited by RICS and partially accredited by the RTPI), addresses three key dimensions that will provide you with the skills and knowledge to contribute to future policy development and help tackle sensitive environmental and sustainability issues. We will consider:
- Principles and process - asking how policies may, or may not, achieve more sustainable development.
- Resource sector studies – comparative and in-depth analysis of sustainability issues in key economic sectors (including food, transport, renewable energy and housing).
- Research training – helping you to develop sustainability-relevant research skills ideal for academic progression, and professional practice.
