Course Overview

Our MSc Sustainable Cities offers you the opportunity to understand such environmental risks and how their impacts are unevenly distributed across geographies and social demographics, such as race, class, religion, and gender.

The MSc Sustainable Cities combines social and environmental approaches to understanding and responding to the climate crisis in highly unequal cities. On the core modules, you will be taught by academics active in their research and keen to share their insights on:

  • political ecology

  • climate change

  • environmental sustainability

  • urban inequality

  • critical geography

  • food security and urban governance.

You will explore different theoretical approaches to urban sustainability, apply conceptual tools to distinct challenges engendered by the intersection of climate change and urbanization, and learn about the limitations and strengths of adaptative solutions, environmental policies, and initiatives.

MSc Sustainable Cities graduates can pursue career paths in:

central and local government, consultancy firms, NGOs, urban planning, civil service, and international organizations

  • research in universities and other public and private research bodies

  • teaching in higher, further, and secondary education

  • community organizing and activism.
