MSc Sustainability (Environment & Development)

Georgina Turner (UK student, 2009-2010)

MSc Sustainability (Environment & Development)

I had been an undergraduate at the University of Leeds and thoroughly enjoyed my experience; I jumped at the chance to come back when I learnt that the School of Earth & Environment offered an MSc. course in Sustainability (Environment and Development) which seemed to suit me perfectly.

I was able to study a range of modules and electives covering many aspects of international development, some from within the School of Earth & Environment and one within the School of Politics and International Studies.

The MSc gave me good knowledge of a broad range of concepts in international development, coupled with good case study examples. It further developed key skills obtained at undergraduate level.

I am now a Development Consultant with Imani Development Ltd in Malawi. I plan to continue to work with this organisation and potentially do a PhD in a couple of years.
