Overview

University of East Anglia 's dynamic MSc Environment and Global Development programme offers a unique interdisciplinary approach. All environmental issues derive from natural processes, but they’re influenced by social and political factors too. A key focus of our MSc is on the political ecology approach to understanding the debates and policy processes underpinning global responses to environmental and natural resource problems.

Interest in the global environment and development has never been so intense. Environmental issues and problems have long been on local and national agendas, but increasingly over the last 30 years, they’re on international agendas too. On this vibrant one-year full-time Master’s course, you’ll study natural processes, social issues and political implications, developing your own unique viewpoint.

After the Course

Previous graduates from the School of Global Development have gone on to work for the British High Commission in Ghana, British Civil Service, CARE International, European Union, Overseas Development Institute, Oxfam, Save the Children International, UNITAR in Japan, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, UNDP, UNHCR, UNICEF and WaterAid.

Upon completing your MA, you can pursue a variety of potential careers both in and beyond global development.

Depending on your degree outcome, you'll also be well qualified to enter a PhD programme with a view to continuing to an academic career both in the UK and overseas.
