Environmental sustainability is a diverse and dynamic subject examining the interaction between people and their surroundings. The MA in Environmental Sustainability is concerned with the use of natural resources and the attainment of more sustainable lifestyles whilst protecting critical natural capital.
Dundee is uniquely located for the study of environmental sustainability. It has easy access to estuarine, maritime and a range of terrestrial environments. Its urban and industrial heritage, the fertile agricultural hinterland and the backdrop of hills and mountains afford a vibrant and varied ‘laboratory’ in which to study.
With the increasing emphasis on the ‘green agenda’ in all aspects of daily life, understanding the environment has never been more important. Global warming, biodiversity and renewable energy are just a few of the recurring themes we hear on the news. Public agencies are now looking for graduates with the ability to deliver sustainable outcomes, while businesses, large and small, are seeking graduates with substantial environmental expertise.
This exciting degree programme means you no longer need to wait until you have graduated to turn your academic interests into such practical environmental skills. You can instead draw on two highly-rated disciplines to give you both the management and administrative skills to inform environmental policy and the scientific and technical knowledge to deliver a more sustainable environment.
If you want to tackle pollution, to ensure that new developments enhance rather than detract from their surroundings, to offer communities the chance to have a real say in how people use their natural resources, in short to have a real impact on the future of our earth, then this is the degree for you.
employability
Graduates from the programme are employed in a wide variety of jobs:
• preparing national policy and legislative guidance on environmental protection
• assisting local authorities with sustainable development strategies, waste strategy implementation and other environmental policies
• working as environmental consultants in specialist areas such as atmospheric or water pollution
• working in large corporations as environmental sustainability personnel or corporate social responsibility managers
• acting as countryside rangers.
Whilst many of our graduates have helped shape environmental policy and regulation at local and national levels, one recent graduate has worked at European Union level, drafting pollution control regulations in Brussels while on secondment from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
