Program Description
The need for environmental sustainability is increasingly acknowledged in policy areas throughout the developed and developing world. For this reason, this course is designed for those looking to gain a high-level qualification in the theory and practical application of sustainable environmental management.
Middlesex University's Master's degree in Sustainability and Environmental Management (suited to those with science and technical experience) offers insight into the causes and solutions to a range of environmental issues. Students will develop the ability to evaluate the constraints and opportunities facing a variety of institutions and acquire the skills required to implement sustainable policies. They will exercise problem-solving scenarios, develop analytical skills and critically evaluate environmental management policies.
Students will study alongside students from a range of cultural backgrounds offering them the chance to learn in an international arena and share ideas on a global scale.
Course highlights:

This will support learning about management and policy solutions for sustainability through practical experiences.
