- We live in a dynamic world where the impact of human activity on the environment and society is now recognised as needing urgent attention. In 2015 the UN launched its 17 Sustainable Development Goals which have quickly become adopted as the framework by which nations and organisations are measuring their progress.

- This course is designed to reflect the needs of the profession as well as the research interests and industrial background of current lecturing staff. We are constantly evolving this course in order to apply both theoretical concepts and industrial practice in order to meet the needs of this important discipline for the benefit of both the natural environment and society.

- The course focuses on the environmental, technological, political, and social issues associated with environmental management and sustainability challenges and issues that affect organisations of every size, in every sector, at both a local and global scale.

- The course blends a mixture of both theory and applied ‘real-world’ industrial practice relating to sustainability and environmental issues. Successful completion of the course will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to drive sustainable development and address the challenges and opportunities posed by environmental issues.

- You will have the option to apply for a ‘work placement’ opportunity, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See modules for more information.
