Overview
It is clear that solutions to the challenge of sustainable development require holistic, integrated and co-ordinated actions across a very wide range of sectors, and will increasingly require a multidisciplinary approach. This programme aims to provide students with a broad grounding in the main concepts associated with sustainable development, but also provides the opportunity to specialise in one area in greater depth.
This Sustainable Development (Online) programme at SOAS University of London provides a theoretical basis for understanding the evolution, meanings and use of the concept of sustainable development and it will help you to gain practical research experience. You will also acquire the skills needed to understand current environmental, development and sustainability issues and debates.
The aims of the programme are:
- to provide students with the skills necessary to analyse and interpret current issues and debates related to sustainable development
- to enhance knowledge and understanding for decision- and policy-making on sustainable development issues
- to enhance students' critical, analytical, and integrative skills for responding to sustainable development challenges
- to provide research training and experience in relation to sustainable development.
