Education for a Sustainable Environment (Taught)

MA Education for a Sustainable Environment provides you with knowledge, insights and competencies to become effective and creative practitioners, policy makers, researchers and communicators in the field of sustainability education.

Situated in the School of Environment, Education and Development, the course offers an environment for interdisciplinary exploration of the interconnected ecological, economic, political, historical and social dimensions of local and global sustainability challenges. It will enhance your critical awareness and knowledge of the relationship between education and a sustainable environment to support learning and research in communities, ethically and responsibly.

The programme also engages with Indigenous knowledge systems, recognising their value in shaping sustainable practices and enriching diverse approaches to education.

This MA has been designed for educational practitioners and policy makers, addressing the need to integrate sustainability education as a learning outcome in formal, informal and professional education settings. You will become part of a research-oriented, international community, working with expert tutors, practitioners, and 'movement makers' equipping you with the skills to realise this integration in practice.
