Master of Arts in Asian Sustainable Development
Course Code: M1055
The Master of Arts in Asian Sustainable Development provides an opportunity for graduates in the Asian region to study the central issue of global and local sustainable development externally. This issue, defined by various United Nations conferences and publications, has many elements to it, hence all aspects of government, the economy and civil society are being examined in the light of sustainability.
The policy focus is on how global and local wealth can be created in ways that have less resource use and environmental impact and greater ability to make liveable communities. The course builds on two core units, STP612 Ecologically Sustainable Development and ENV512 Global and Regional Sustainability, and then can be applied in different areas including urban regional sustainability, renewable energy, environmental management and policy, and ecotourism. Case study material is drawn from the Asian region and projects will be done on local issues of relevance to the students. A final project unit or dissertation will draw together the student's main interest in a research exercise.
