The MSt in Climate, Environmental, and Urban Policy is a two-year, part-time master’s programme designed for senior, mid-career, and high-potential early-career professionals. It is delivered through a blend of online distance learning, e-learning through a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and attendance at five residential blocks of intensive in-person study in — (eight weeks over two academic years). This format allows participants to continue in full-time work alongside their studies. The programme offers a unique, interdisciplinary perspective on climate change, environmental challenges, and urban transformations. It aims to prepare leaders who can navigate and influence the profound societal shifts required for a sustainable future, enabling them to create informed, impactful strategies within governments, businesses, and civil society. Drawing on concepts and expertise from multiple disciplines, the programme is designed to equip participants with a 360° strategic view of sustainability transitions, integrating scientific, regulatory, and economic dimensions. The course explores critical themes including climate change and energy, biodiversity and ecosystems, and sustainable transformations of urban systems, equipping students to analyse and address the complex, interconnected processes driving global change.
