Sustainable Development

ballyrhy86

I'm looking for masters courses in sustainable development or similar. Basically I want a course with something to do with environmentally and economically sustainable development to add onto my undergraduate degree in Spatial Planning from DIT. I knows there is a sustainable development masters in DIT but I'm looking for other options, don't want to rely on just one option. Any ideas!?

There's a good few sustainable development courses in the uk, but the one's I know about here would be the MRUP and MSc in Environmental Resource Management in UCD. They would have a lot of sustainable development issues, especially the Environmental Resource Management one which is pretty popular: http://www.ucd.ie/bioenvsci/postgrad/masters_erm.htm And here's the MRUP info: http://www.ucd.ie/gpep/gpepinfo/degrees/mrup.html

Here's a few general 'kind of related' courses: http://www.postgrad.ie/search.html?coursetype=postgrad&keyword=environment&dlpage=25&page=0&ukpage=

Hope that helps!

Im also looking for an MA in sustainable development and i saw the one in DIT but my first inclination was that it was designed for students who maybe would already be civil engineers or have a building/construction background?

You could e-mail either ken boyle or yvonne mcglynn and ask whether your undergrad qualification makes you eligible for the masters. you can find their addresses at http://dit.ie/study/postgraduate/browse/programmes/title,878,en.html.

State why your interested in it and how dedicated you'll be and so on and that should give you a better chance of them saying you're eligible!

thanks el siglo, some useful info there, hopefully it will b a good field 2get into!
