In terms of course content, I really enjoyed learning about the policy landscape within the Innovation and the Science-Policy Interface module, particularly the group work aspect of creating a report on a new policy proposal. But candidly, one of the most enjoyable parts of the course was meeting the variety of people that shared the same passion for climate change solutions as I did.

MSc Global Sustainability Solutions graduate
I’ve really enjoyed meeting new people from all over the world and being able to come together to brainstorm and learn about subjects that we’re all really motivated about. I’ve also enjoyed working on real-world challenges as well as having a dissertation project that has the potential to encourage positive change.
I’m a mature student who, after completing my first degree 11 years ago, decided to return to part-time study with the aim of learning about and helping to create solutions for some of today’s most urgent sustainability challenges. I chose to study at the University of Exeter for its track record of excellence in research.
The programme has been interdisciplinary in nature and has covered a wide range of subjects.
