Environment and Sustainable Development MSc
Environment and Sustainable Development MSc
About
Faced with the most severe environmental crisis in human history, with unprecedented environmental degradation, rapid urbanisation and the production and reproduction of inequalities, it becomes ever more pressing to aquire the capacities for effective action to safeguard nature and current and future generations.
This programme offers an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of socio-environmental change, equipping graduates with the skills required to face complex global challenges in urban regions while being sensitive to local contexts and remaining flexible in fast changing realities.
For the last 60 years the Development Planning Unit at UCL has championed forms of development planning that promote socially just and sustainable development in the context of rapid urbanisation in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The programme provides opportunities to interact with leading thinkers in development planning and students will join a community of practice with an international network of researchers and practitioners.
