Description:

Introducing you to the concepts and thinking behind the idea of sustainability, the BSc (Hons) Global Sustainable Development programme starts by exploring key thinkers and issues in engaging the global community with the notion of sustainable development. At the same time, we introduce you to important ways to investigate, interrogate and analyse new research in sustainable development, and familiarise you with the expectations of higher education.

We then focus upon the connections between the classic 'three pillars' of sustainability; society, economy and the environment. It is these connections that present the greatest challenges and opportunities to forge a sustainable world.
