Master of Science - International Sustainable Development

Loughborough University's International Sustainable Development Master of Science will enhance student's both conceptual and practical understanding of international development with a specialisation in the areas of sustainability, resilience, disaster risks, inequality, security, migration and citizen engagement.

Climate change, disasters and inequality are among the many urgent global challenges that international development must strive to address. This programme aims to develop student's critical understanding of, and provide practical insight into how international development works in terms of contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals. The theoretical inquiry will go hand in hand with a practical orientation to the field, and will be contextualized within the analysis of the broader economic, social, technical and political issues influencing the field today.

The programme offers practical-based learning through industry-led projects. Students will engage with leading organisations and agencies to develop professional skills through the Collaborative Project, with options to undertake a dissertation or internship with industry. To help further enhance their employability, the Future Space Enterprise Hub offers additional support for engaging with partners, sourcing internships, and establishing start-ups and consultancies.
