Sustainable Development is widely regarded as the most promising framework for addressing environmental and developmental challenges in the 21st century, including: the provision of clean water and adequate sanitation, energy generation and supply, human health, food production and distribution, and the continuing threat to biodiversity.
A Sustainable Development degree at St Andrews will enable you to understand developmental challenges from multiple perspectives and to utilise the knowledge you gain to tackle these challenges and realise the opportunities they create.
