Profile
Sustainability is a great challenge of our time. It is enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals and achieving it will require an integrated approach to the protection of the Earth and its inhabitants. This unique program combines the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability, enabling specialization in one of those dimensions while complemented by knowledge and skills from the others. The core modules provide a global perspective on sustainability and include interdisciplinary research, a professional placement, fieldwork in Ireland and Europe, and guest lectures from leading researchers, advocates, and practitioners. Graduates will enjoy careers as consultants, managers, and advisers in large organizations and private businesses. Interdisciplinary education in sustainability theory, policy, and practice will equip you to work in areas such as renewables, clean technology management, and energy efficiency, or advise industries on social and environmental strategies. The First Year is structured so that students can progress into one of the following degree courses in the Second Year: Sustainability with Environmental Sciences; Sustainability with Social Sciences, Policy, and Law-Sustainability with Business & Economics.
Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
