- Appreciate critically the distinct disciplinary approaches to a dynamic and contested body of knowledge on development, politics and the environment
- Develop awareness of contemporary development issues, problems and policies through engagement with development theory
- Enhance understanding of framing and problem-solving challenges at the interface of environment and development with learning of political theory, political science and political ecology theories and environmental justice lenses
- Gain critical analytical skills to uncover reciprocal relationships between changing natural environments and dynamic livelihood strategies, or the nature of power, difference and inequality within economic, social, physical and cultural environments
- Develop interdisciplinary understanding of the ways in which the human and physical world is revealed through representations of space, place and landscape
- Access opportunities to carry out original fieldwork either in the UK or overseas for your dissertation
- An optional internship module helps students take their first steps towards employment in a relevant vocational field.

Indicative Module Catalogue
Please click here to view our indicative module catalogue guide for 24/25 which includes more information on the modules offered
Part-Time Students
Part-time students are advised to take 75-90 credits of taught modules in their first year, including Fundamentals of Environment, Politics and Development and Environmental Justice and Governance, thereby allowing enough time to focus on the dissertation in their second year. Students are normally advised to take Practising Social Research in their second year, but that can be taken in the first year, should students have strong reasons to do so and have the agreement of their Programme Director.
Part-Time International Students and paid or unpaid work
Please note that for international students, UK Government guidelines are currently more restrictive for those holding part-time visas than full-time visas. If you hold a student visa for a part-time programme, you will not have the right to undertake any work, paid or unpaid, in the UK. Therefore, the Internship (Environment and Society) module is only available to full-time overseas students but not part-time overseas students, as the UK Government considers it unpaid work. The Internship module is also available to full- or part-time home students.
King’s College London reviews the modules offered on a regular basis to provide up-to-date, innovative and relevant programmes of study. Therefore, modules offered may change. We suggest you keep an eye on the course finder on our website for updates.
Please note that modules with a practical component will be capped due to educational requirements, which may mean that we cannot guarantee a place to all students who elect to study this module.
Employability
On completion of the Environment, Politics and Development MSc programme you will have attained a range of knowledge and skills appropriate to careers in research, management and consultancy in organisations engaged in the environment and development field in developing countries, as well as generic skills opening the way to more general employment opportunities for M-level graduates.
Many of our graduates have gone on to undertake further graduate study and work as research assistants for international development agencies. There are also good career opportunities with government agencies, international and national non-governmental organisations and academic research institutes.
Our ever-popular Internship module, which has been running for over 20 years, helps master’s students take their first steps towards employment, offering opportunities to undertake a period of work with an organisation broadly related to their programme of study. The internship not only provides valuable career enhancing opportunities but also counts towards their degrees. In 2021-22, over 150 students worked with 60 different organisations across a range of sectors including: international agencies; local councils and national government departments; companies in the for-profit and not-for-profit sector, research institutes and charities. As well as UK organisations, partners also included Belgium, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany and the United States.

Role: Policy Officer at Defra
I work in the International Biodiversity and Climate directorate, on international sustainable agriculture and land use. I mainly manage a project which supports small and medium sized farmers in their transition to lower carbon agriculture methods in Brazil. I wouldn’t be in this role without Kings. The content in the modules I studied provided the most incredible foundational understanding for my role.
