Course Summary

Course Description

Human societies depend on their physical and natural environment for livelihoods and well being, and development is essential to alleviate poverty and improve living conditions, but this development should be sustainable.

This innovative degree programme explores the varied links between the environment and international development. It focuses on the science and management of natural resources, the effects of environmental change, and the importance of conservation and sustainable development, many of these in both local and global contexts. You will investigate topical issues of environmental change and human development from social, economic, political, environmental, physical or agricultural viewpoints, and will even have the opportunity to put what you have learnt into practice by spending the autumn semester of your final year either working or studying in the developing world.

This programme is offered jointly by the School of Environmental Sciences and School of International Development. The wide range of course units on offer enables you to tailor this degree to meet your specific interests. It is possible to focus your study on one particular developing region or to apply the principles you will learn across the developing world.
