Hide-Your course
This programme aims to produce graduates with the multidisciplinary modeling skills to meet the diverse challenges of today’s complex, rapidly changing international world, such as climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, deforestation and fossil fuel dependency. They will have the ability to influence the formulation of international business and corporate strategies in the agri-business, marine, renewable energy, forestry, and ‘green’ and ‘blue’ growth sectors and shape public policy concerned with marine spatial planning, renewable energy, biodiversity conservation and a transition to a low carbon future.
International perspectives on energy economics and policy, agri-business, marine resources, and environmental, social and corporate governance are provided along with quantitative and spatial (GIS) modeling methodologies, with the aim of deepening students’ knowledge of interactions between economy, society and natural resources.
