Sustainability and sustainable development are crucial topics facing almost every industry worldwide. There is a growing demand from industry and society for experts in this field to provide sustainable solutions to a multitude of interdisciplinary global challenges.
Our Science and Technology for Sustainability Masters has been developed to answer this demand by industry, bringing together science and engineering disciplines. You’ll build the extensive skill set and knowledge you’ll need to provide leadership and innovation on sustainable development in all aspects of industries and societal sectors.
You’ll be trained by leading academics and researchers from across the Schools of Chemistry, Chemical and Process Engineering, Civil Engineering and Physics and Astronomy to cover key global challenges that address UN sustainable development goals whilst gaining insight into how a sustainable low carbon future can be achieved.
Modules will cover everything from energy management, green chemistry and low carbon economics to sustainable waste management, life cycle analysis – plus many more. The broad range of topics will provide you with a holistic understanding of how future sustainable solutions are identified and developed, preparing you for a career in this field.
Here at Leeds, we’re a leading player in sustainability, with solid industrial and governmental collaborations that address and contribute to a broad range of sustainable development innovation. This means you’ll be learning from experts who are actively working in the field.
