This programme provides analytically rigorous, stimulating and balanced perspectives of the inter-relations between environment and development at the global, regional, national and local levels. Students learn to critically examine how these challenges have been interpreted and are being addressed by academics, international agencies, government-level policy-makers, nongovernment development actors and of course, ordinary people around the world. This master's programme: examines the policy challenges in promoting healthy environments in the developing world; provides an analytically rigorous but broadly-based understanding of the inter-relations between environment and development at global, national and local levels. Our programmes are excellent preparation for careers in international and rural development, agricultural economics, and marketing within the food chain and policy. Some 96% of our graduates are in work or further study six months after graduating.
