Overview

Why study this program?

In the Global Governance and Sustainable Development program at Middlesex University You will explore various approaches to how intergovernmental and national strategies, policies and projects – addressing issues such as climate change, food security and sustainable urban development – are formulated, implemented and evaluated.

Through a critical case study approach, you'll develop the skills to lead and manage change in a global environment whether in the private sector or with public or third-sector agencies

What you will gain

Sustainable development is a powerful global agenda enshrined in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 and numerous other multilateral and national treaties and policies.

Quality of governance is increasingly recognised as central to sustainable development, which requires achieving just and legitimate outcomes in major global socio-economic and environmental issues such as poverty, climate change, food security and biodiversity loss.

As sustainable development becomes a global priority, professionals with the knowledge and skills to enact it are in high demand by intergovernmental agencies, governments, and private sector companies.
