Environment, Politics and Development MSc

About

Our Environment, Politics and Development MSc provides an advanced theoretical understanding of the relationship between development problems and environmental issues. You will explore these relationships from the perspectives of political ecology, development geography and environmental governance. To illustrate these relationships, we use relevant case studies drawn from across the globe.

Learn and interact with academic staff that have first-hand experience of development problems and environmental issues in contexts from around the globe.

Appreciate critically the distinct disciplinary approaches to a dynamic and contested body of knowledge on development, politics and the environment.

Develop awareness of contemporary development issues, problems and policies through engagement with development theory.

Enhance your understanding and problem-solving abilities at the interface of environment and development by applying theoretical and practical knowledge from political theory, political ecology and an environmental justice lens.

Gain critical analytical skills to uncover reciprocal relationships between changing natural environments and dynamic livelihood strategies, or the nature of power, difference and inequality within economic, social, physical and cultural environments.

Develop interdisciplinary understanding of the ways in which the human and physical world is revealed through representations of space, place and landscape.

Access opportunities to carry out original fieldwork either in the UK or overseas for your dissertation.

Take part in excellent tutorial support, extensive module specific interactive teaching and regular classroom discussions.
