From the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis to the question of managing economies during a global pandemic, the topic of sustainability has never been more pressing.
The MSc Ecological Economics, delivered collaboratively with Scotland's Rural College, prepares you to help solve and critically analyse the root causes of real-world sustainability problems. You will learn how to integrate environmental, social, and economic systems together, focusing on the mutual dependencies between them. In short, this programme aims to equip you with a new way of seeing the world.
You will participate in sustainability problem-solving with an emphasis on application, practical experience and 'hands-on' learning.
You will experience training in a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies and the associated data analysis using real-world case studies.
During your studies, you will implement a small, team-based research project. Designed collaboratively with staff members in response to a real-world sustainability problem, it will provide you with firsthand experience conducting the work of an ecological economist.
If you are ready to engage with peers from diverse backgrounds and perspectives and are willing to actively discuss complex sustainability problems both in teams and in class, then this programme is for you.
This programme is delivered in collaboration with Scotland's Rural College (SRUC).
You will benefit from being a fully enrolled student at the University of Edinburgh and have access to all of the complementary staff, expertise, and resources at SRUC. Upon successful completion of the programme, you will be awarded your degree by the University of Edinburgh.

Studying Ecological Economics at Edinburgh has been an inspiring journey. I was drawn to the programme for its interdisciplinary approach, and it has exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciate the sense of community among staff and students, as well as the chance to apply our learning to real environmental issues. This experience has encouraged me to pursue a career that bridges economics and sustainability.

Applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds are welcome to apply, but all students will be expected to engage critically with economic and environmental concepts, and will also be asked to engage in both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Students whose undergraduate degrees have not addressed one or more these areas should highlight in their applications their abilities to learn and to engage with these subject areas.
