Academic spotlight
Hear from Programme Director Dr Dan Welch
"To make the transition to a more sustainable society we need profound socio-economic change. We need to change most of the systems that provide us with the goods we consume, and we need to change many of our institutions and organisations.
There is a lack of postgraduates with social scientific expertise in processes of social change for a more sustainable society. The MA Social change, environment and sustainability aims to fill that gap."
