teaching and assessment


The degree programme is taught by experienced town planners and geographers. We use a variety of teaching methods including lectures, tutorials, seminars, lab work and group instruction for skills development.


Through a range of practical coursework, you will have the chance to develop your skills in communication, report writing, presentation, policy analysis and evaluation, problem solving, decision making, IT, and team work.


As progress is made through the programme students have an increasing opportunity to specialise in subjects of their choice.


what our graduates are doing


Jill McMaster graduated in 2006 with an MA Environmental Sustainability. She is now a Facilities Management Assistant (Energy), for Perth & Kinross Council. She says, the degree programme provided me with an array of useful skills and knowledge of the ‘real world’, from preparing presentations to writing briefing notes and understanding sustainable development principles for all aspects of resource management.


Keir McAndrew graduated in 1999. He now works for the European Commission in Brussels on EU law concerning industrial emissions. He says, the course contained a large element of personal development, focusing on the skills that are required in the workplace – project and time management, presentation skills, research skills – all of which have proven to be very helpful in my career. The other great thing about my course was the people I studied with who all had a real commitment to environmental matters and a desire to learn.
