Course Overview

Sustainability is a cross-cutting theme relevant to a wide range of sectors including those such as food production, farming, chemical production, manufacturing, construction, service sector and retail, as well as at a policy level. The need for sustainable development is becoming increasingly important throughout the UK and globally, and organisations are now reflecting this in the decisions they make and the policies they put in place. To achieve these goals, a new generation of sustainability specialists are needed to support companies, public services, and non-profit organisations to identify and implement policies and strategies to manage the resources they use and the waste they generate.

The MSc in Sustainability programme at the University of Lincoln aims to offer a broad range of topics, which enable students to develop both the technical knowledge of the subject, as well as the leadership and business skills necessary to embed sustainable practices, develop sustainable products and services and to implement change. This programme is designed to promote a broad understanding of the topic, through real-life related assignments to develop core competencies and through a specific personal project to increase a graduate's employability across a range of sectors including housing, the built environment, food and agriculture, energy and water sector, service sector, retail, policy and manufacturing.

This approach to innovation lets businesses grow while addressing important challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and a reduction in the use of natural resources. This process could also improve business restructuring, recovery and promote economic resilience as well as growth and competitiveness. The overall aim of the module is for students to gain knowledge and develop understanding that enables them to identify the role of innovation and other leading practices in developing sustainable products and services and providing sustainable solutions, and to identify issues and assess opportunities that deliver innovative and sustainable products and services by using lifecycle thinking and circular economy approaches.

The development of the eight Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015) and the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030) inform international targets for sustainable development. UN Climate Change Conferences from Kyoto in 1997, COP18 in Doha (2012), and COP26 in Glasgow (2021) sought to gain universal climate agreement between governments to reduce emissions, cut greenhouse gases, and support vulnerable nations to adapt, but global greenhouse gas emissions continue to arise. This module will consider from a wide perspective the context of sustainability, sustainable development, and sustainable living and encourage critical reflection on these themes.CoreSustainability Research Project - Case Study 2025-26AGR9023Level 72025-26Sustainability Case Study is a single 60-credit module, which will be introduced in the first term of study and continue across terms 2 and 3. It aims to provide students with the experience of developing academic and career development skills, as well as to design and deliver a relevant individual, in-depth scientific study/ investigation. In the first part, via a range of activities and through interacting with various research groups and teams across the university, students will familiarise themselves with research undertaken across the University and start thinking about their research project/case studies areas. They will also gain access to career advice/opportunities for placements/professional practice. Students will have the opportunity to develop critical academic skills related to finding, evaluating, reading, and understanding relevant sources of literature and clearly and concisely write content to make a point or defend an argument with cited sources.

Students will also be allocated an individual project supervisor/advisor and develop a case study proposal and a literature review. In the third part, students will deliver an original in-depth scientific investigation of a specific sustainability related topic and produce a formal dissertation (sustainability case study) with the advice of an individual project supervisor/advisor. This module is aligned with an optional 12-week work placement module. It aims for students to gain hands-on experience while working in a professional environment as well as collect real-world data and use them in their final research project case study.CoreSustainable Organisations 2025-26BUS9718Level 72025-26This module will focus on sustainability from the perspectives of organisations, business and management. It will explore the underlying causes of present-day challenges with sustainability at both an organisational and societal level.

This module covers the fundamental principles of, and imperatives for, sustainable and low carbon design, construction and occupation of buildings. This includes the complex, challenging, and sometimes contradictory elements of legislation that drive our collective response to climate change. The fundamental methodologies for designing, constructing, and occupying sustainable buildings starts with the site, and a thorough understanding of the impact of the environmental and physical surroundings of a building. It then considers the construction process and how to make this most efficient, lean, and sustainable by minimising impact. Finally, it considers behavioural issues relating to occupancy and use of the buildings we live and work in, in order to minimise the impact on the environment.OptionalSustainable Energy and Climate Change 2025-26EGR9014MLevel 72025-26This module deals with current and potential future energy systems, covering resources, extraction, conversion, and end-use technologies, with emphasis on meeting regional and global energy needs in the 21st century in a sustainable manner.
