This interdisciplinary programme focuses on issues of social justice, diversity, human rights, and climate change, intending to create meaningful and lasting changes. You will explore these issues at local and global levels, as collaboration across borders and levels of decision-making is often necessary to address these complex problems.
Through applied research for sustainable development and close interaction with organisations, you will have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice.
