Why study MSc Sustainable Food Systems?

Climate change is increasingly recognised as the major threat for humanity. Extreme weather events, likely caused by climate change, are already decimating crop yields. We're also battling a biodiversity crisis and a health crisis of obesity and malnutrition, while we're faced with increasing food insecurity due to rising living costs.

Many civil society organisations (CSOs), funding bodies and academics are demanding policy and institutional changes to address the inefficiencies of the current food system. To meet these growing demands, our MSc Sustainable Food Systems aims to produce diverse change makers to champion a transformation of the food system.

Why UWE Bristol?

Our masters in Sustainable Food Systems is the only course of its kind in the UK. The content offers a unique focus on food justice and shifting local food systems through community-scale actions. From growth to consumption, you'll learn how to transform complex food systems to achieve sustainable, healthy and accessible outcomes for all.

Designed in consultation with external food system stakeholders, you'll study practice-oriented modules with real-world impact. Our content is strengthened by support from the Food Policy Alliance Cymru, which includes a wide range of organisations working across food policy and practice in Wales.

An interdisciplinary course with broad applications

Due its interdisciplinary nature, our MSc Sustainable Food Systems will appeal to students from a broad range of undergraduate disciplines. These include public health, environmental science and ecology, business, psychology, education, geography and the creative arts.

To deepen your understanding of complex local food systems, we'd also encourage those employed in entry level roles in public service bodies and CSOs to apply. After completing our masters in Sustainable Food Systems, graduates will have the specialised skills to become sustainability leaders in government, public bodies, businesses and CSOs.
