Further information on the course:

This MSc course (1-3 years, flexible learning) aims to equip students with critical thinking, statistical modelling, data visualization and science communication skills to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges. Our programme has been developed to upskill people who are already working on a range of justice issues related to the SDGs, such as poverty reduction, gender equality, zero hunger, and climate action. In addition to building confidence in these individuals, our programme is designed to attract graduates wanting to move into professions relating to sustainability, environmental and social justice.
