Overview

The Environment, Politics and Society at University College London (UCL) is an academic rather than vocational programme with most students pursuing further education or careers in international organisations, the public sector, NGOs or charities.

The programme explores the social, economic, cultural and political processes through which expert and lay knowledges of environmental and political changes is acquired, communicated and incorporated in decision-making.

It equips students with a range of social science methods and personal transferable skills which are essential for social and environmental politics, practices and policy.

Teaching and learning

The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, presentations, discussions, workshops, practical classes and field trips. Dissertation seminars provide opportunities to meet previous MSc students to discuss their dissertations and subsequent career. Assessment is through coursework and the research dissertation.

Careers

The first cohort of students on the Environment, Politics and Society MSc graduate in 2017. The programme is fundamentally academic in character rather than vocational and we anticipate careers destinations to be broadly similar to the Environment, Science and Society programme which preceded it.

Graduates of Environment, Politics and Society have gone on to work for

governments,
environmental non-governmental organisations and consultancies,
multi-lateral bodies,
the media and think tanks,
often in policy, research or communication roles.

The MSc also provides an excellent foundation for PhD research.
