Sustainable Futures
Master
Co-create equitable, resilient and liveable futures by rethinking the present and transforming the systems that shape our world.
As ecological pressures and societal tensions intensify, the task of shaping sustainable, just and democratic futures becomes increasingly complex and urgent. Imagining such futures is a long-standing human practice. Yet building them, free from systems of extraction, exclusion and instability, requires more than imagination. It calls for knowledge of the planet and its systems, together with critical insight into the social, political and institutional dynamics that drive change. From climate adaptation and democratic resilience to territorial transformation and community-led initiatives, sustainable futures depend on institutions, policies and collective action that can respond to crisis while enabling long-term transformation and inclusion. Recognising the complexity of our interconnected world means engaging with both human and more-than-human communities, the places they inhabit and the political and administrative frameworks through which change unfolds.
✔️ Interdisciplinary approach grounded in geography and the social sciences.
✔️ Sustainability, governance and socio-cultural perspectives at the core.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study.
