Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: L901
Here's what University of Sussex says about its Climate Justice, Sustainability and Development course.
Climate change affects every aspect of our everyday lives. From our homes to our health, rising temperatures and extreme weather are having a devastating impact across the globe.
This course is designed for students who are concerned about the impacts of climate change and how we respond to it, but are more drawn to questions of politics, activism and human rights than natural science.
Climate justice focuses on the social equity, historical responsibility and economic transformations involved in climate change. It is of critical importance to policymakers, NGOs, activists and corporations alike.
The course draws on Sussex's world-leading expertise in development, sustainability and social justice. By studying at Sussex, you’ll:
-
learn about the colonial roots of environmental justice conflicts
-
explore the proposed responses to the climate crisis
-
work with other students who are passionate about understanding climate change, to discuss, design and propose approaches to address it
-
explore creative approaches to communicating climate change, such as podcasting, blogging and campaign design
-
be inspired by meeting diverse organisations and changemakers from beyond the university who are involved in climate change action.
Our BA is interactive and solutions-focused. You’ll learn both inside and outside of the classroom. You’ll have field trip opportunities, visit local rewilding projects and attend lessons in our campus Forest Food Garden.
Studying this course will allow you to take action around climate change, rather than just study it, and you’ll graduate ready to change the world.

Accommodation is quite expensive in this region and the need for a guarantor adds another expense.

University of Sussex open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
