Overview
Existing Masters courses will also be made available to the research students; this will include access to lectures and Blackboard based Distance Learning material. An important feature of this DTP will be the running of bi-monthly workshops and seminars with practitioners and policy makers; the teaching team have an extensive network of contacts to support this.
There are opportunities to build on DMU the Green Academy Programme that is currently being taken forward by the University's Sustainable Development Task Force. The research students will have the opportunity to contribute to several undergraduate and Master’s level courses from within all the Faculties; there will also be the opportunity to work with, and lecture, to practitioners in local authorities and commercial organisations in the UK and abroad.
Employability
International and national commitments on sustainable development require a future workforce with knowledge of a broad range of interdisciplinary skills to address the complex challenges facing society. Students studying through this DTP will therefore be well placed to address such issues.
The training of the Sustainable Development course at De Montfort University will be based on a recognition that research skills, and particularly those that are action and participatory based, are becoming a significant asset in the employment market. These skills relate both to the ability to manage and evaluate change and to evaluate projects from an independent perspective.
