Our MSc Environment and Development enables you to critically evaluate the interrelationships between development and the environment, with a strong emphasis on social and environmental justice.
You will learn about issues that are inherently transboundary, multi-generational and multi-faceted. Our approach to understanding these issues will centre on questions of justice and inequalities.
Attempts to understand and address interconnected issues such as climate justice, gender and social equity, and biodiversity conservation must pay close attention to their contested, political and ideological nature, and how they differ across places and scales.
That is why our MSc focuses on the inherent link between society and nature, the relevance of historical contexts to current debates, and global capitalism as an underlying force of change. It will consider the increasingly diverse set of actors, practices and processes driving environment and development issues, and question the power of these to direct agendas and actions.
The MSc has relevance in both the 'Majority World' and 'Minority World', also known as 'Global South' and 'Global North', respectively, drawing attention to relationships of inequality and marginalisation as they occur for particular environments and sections of society worldwide.
You will explore societal and environmental issues through different theoretical and conceptual lenses, examining the interplay of:
There is diversity in what you can study and conduct research on. Our flexibility enables you to develop your interests in an area you are most passionate about. We will challenge you to cultivate reflective, critical thinking that is cross-cutting and globally relevant.
