I chose my degree subject because it was the perfect marriage of what I wanted to study - International Development and Sustainability issues. I chose LSE because it is the only school that combined the two fields in a Masters programme and because LSE ranked amongst the best schools in the world in the social sciences.

LSE changed my life and was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I realise how incredible learning could be, but I have made lifelong friends in the field and still stay in touch with some of my professors to this day.

Maun, Botswana

Just being at LSE, as a university with diverse students, and hence cultures, has helped me learn about and appreciate the different cultures that we have on this planet. I have also been privileged to sit and listen to some very important academic figures as well as prominent people of the world, through public talks, debates and conferences.

The programme integrates issues of sustainable development, a subject that has dominated agendas on environmental management issues in the past decade, from a theory and practical based perspective, giving examples from both the developing and developed world.
