Throughout our Environment and Social Justice MA you will have an active role in your learning, pursuing the issues that interest you through guided and independent learning. We encourage you to a take solutions-focused approach, applying the theories and methods you learn to develop potential outcomes that work towards a more just, sustainable world. Debate and discussion is also central to the course, with sessions often centred around exploring complex issues together as a group.
The modules you will study use multidisciplinary approaches from across the social sciences and humanities to deepen your understanding of complex environmental issues. You will also develop your knowledge and skills in research and communication, as you progress towards your final Capstone Project. This will tackle a real environmental challenge, offering both academic insight and practical solutions through engaging directly with stakeholders.
