Course overview

Cities across the world are facing huge sustainability challenges. While mayors and city councils pledge 'zero carbon cities' by 2040, a serious skills shortage means a new generation of sustainability leaders is needed.

Our Sustainable Cities MSc tackles this skills shortage by equipping you with the knowledge and tools necessary to become an urban sustainability leader. On this programme you'll experience urban sustainability first hand, blending concepts and theories with real-world problems and solutions.

You'll learn about energy systems, transport networks, housing provision, urban ecosystems and food. Using applied cases, you'll discover how these systems can be transformed to produce better economic, environmental, and social outcomes, meaning you'll be fully equipped to pursue careers in city government, consultancy, NGO's and beyond.

Throughout your course, there'll be input from across several of our Schools - all of which conduct internationally excellent research that addresses and challenges global environmental issues, ensuring you'll be learning the most topical and up-to-date information in this field.
