Overview

The (Hons) Global Sustainable Development , B.Sc. course from MLA College 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.

The course aims to:

Provide a sound and critical understanding of sustainable development, particularly with reference to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Show how sustainability is conceived and practiced differently across the globe.

Provide key theoretical and practical knowledge of a range of subjects that are important considerations within the SDGs.

Enable students to understand the role of individuals, communities, and institutions in delivering sustainable development.

Foster debate and enable students to express reasoned, evidence-based arguments.
