This programme offers a unique opportunity to study first world sustainable development in a holistic context. It provides a rigorous theoretical training in core issues surrounding sustainability.
A wide range of options enable you to specialise in key aspects of sustainable development, providing a practical and problem-based approach to learning focused on both the academic study of sustainable development and the implementation of sustainability in a range of professional contexts. This is achieved through thorough training in research methods for sustainability and the opportunity to develop work-based learning and related experience.
We also offer MSc Sustainable Development (Climate Change and Environment) and MSc Sustainable Development (Distance Learning).
I enjoyed the MSc in Sustainable Development and think it has been really useful both for my professional life and also for my personal life as Exeter has a really friendly environment.
The MSc exceeded my expectations by providing not only a great selection of modules from which we were able to choose according to our interests, whether they involved sustainable development in relation to communities, climate change, politics or governance, but also really appropriate compulsory modules such as those related to data collection and analysis, which taught us how to measure development from a practical perspective.
I would definitely recommend this programme and hope more people like myself, who come from a developing country, can participate since it provides theoretical and practical tools for the implementation of projects related to sustainable development.
