The need for sustainable development is a global concern. This flexible degree prepares you to address the challenges faced in safeguarding the planet’s ecosystems in a fast-developing world. It is ideal if you want to pursue a career in the environmental field, in the private, public, or not-for-profit sectors.



This programme is suited to those with a Natural Sciences or Social Science background who wish to increase their breadth and depth of knowledge as applied to the environment, with an additional development component.



You will be based within Lancaster Environment Centre which has one of the largest groups of geographers, resource management specialists and environmental scientists in the UK whose specialities span the social and natural sciences. Modules will be taught by world-leading researchers.



You will complete six taught modules and a dissertation research project, with individual supervision from a research-active expert. We offer great flexibility with modules spanning the natural and social sciences, from sustainable soil management and conservation biology to environmental law and globalisation. This enables you to construct a degree that fits your interests and career ambitions and to apply your learning in a wider cultural context.



You will gain a solid foundation in the key theoretical issues around environment and development whilst gaining the problem-solving, practical and field skills valued by employers.



Your dissertation project forms a substantial part of your degree; it will enhance your practical and analytical skills and give you the opportunity to apply your learning to a real-world challenge. Dissertation topics are available in both environment and development topics, with natural science and/or social science themes, and there are also opportunities for field work overseas. Students can pick one of the topics proposed by supervisors, or tailor-make their own project, according to their interest, in collaboration with their supervisor.
