Course Overview

This postgraduate course on environment and sustainability provides an advanced-level grounding in sustainable responses to a broad range of environmental issues. It explores the relationship between policy, practice, and the ecological environment, and the development of effective strategies for addressing the threats and opportunities posed by environmental issues. As the course is offered through the evening, the on-campus study provides a distinctive opportunity for practitioners to combine study with a continuing career.

This course is designed to suit students from a wide range of backgrounds and is ideal if you are keen to develop a deeper understanding of the key drivers of environmental policy developments in the UK and internationally. It is relevant for managers with responsibility for environmental affairs in the public or private sector, members of a regulatory body, members of environmental pressure groups, or those with a general interest in ecological issues.

We offer this course as a Master’s, Postgraduate Diploma, and Postgraduate Certificate. For the Diploma and Certificate, you study fewer modules and do not complete a dissertation.

The Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma are ideal if you are interested in studying at the postgraduate level for personal or professional reasons, but don't want to commit to a full MSc.

Graduates can pursue career paths in business, environmental management, local government, policy work, and in environmental groups and charities. Possible professions include:

geographical information systems officer

nature conservation officer

environmental consultant

planning and development surveyor

town planner.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond.
