PROGRAM LEVEL
The Master’s Program in Environment and Sustainable Development was introduced in 2002 with the support of UNESCO and was then developed in 2017 and offered jointly by the University of Bahrain and the Prince’s Foundation (UK). The new program is structured to have 2 streams: Stream I is Environmental Science and Development, and Stream II is Sustainable Urbanism. The program is designed to boost students’ professional practice skills and to enhance their career prospects in Environmental Science, Sustainable Development and Sustainable Urbanism. The curriculum of the ESD Master’s program is designed to give students diverse educational skills. It involves various learning methods including lectures, field visits, self-studies, multidisciplinary projects, and case studies. The research project in the ESD thesis can pursue interests in almost all areas of environmental protection and sustainable development such as energy, water, waste, transportation, pollution, radiation protection, and measurements. The M.Sc. in ESD courses are delivered by instructors from colleges and departments across the University of Bahrain and the Prince’s Foundation for Building Community (UK), and in collaboration with a comprehensive range of governmental and non-governmental organizations.
