Ecological Economics MSc

Reino Unido

O que eu aprenderei?

From the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis to the question of managing economies during a global pandemic - the topic of sustainability has never been more pressing.

The MSc Ecological Economics prepares you to contribute to solving sustainability problems by focusing on the intersection between the environment, the economy and economic decision-making. The programme aims to equip you with a new way of seeing the world. We will empower you to analyse how the economy and economic decisions affect our progress towards a more sustainable future.

What will I learn?

The interdisciplinary nature of the programme links environmental, social and economic systems together, and focuses on the mutual dependences between them.

You will participate in sustainability problem-solving with an emphasis on application, practical experience and ‘hands-on’ learning.

You will experience training in a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies and the associated data analysis, using real-world case studies.

During your studies, you will implement a small, team-based research project. Designed collaboratively with staff members in response to a real-world sustainability problem, it will provide you with first-hand experience conducting the work of an ecological economist.
