Overview

The Environment and Global Development programme offered by University of East Anglia 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 the MSc is the political ecology approach to understanding the debates and policy processes shaping global responses to environmental and natural resource challenges.

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.

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