MSc Global Health - Food Security, Sustainability and Biodiversity

This degree is run in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. From pollution in the air and water, climate change and unsustainable farming and food supply chains, to population growth and concerns about hunger, obesity, or eating too much meat - the challenges of sustainable living are all around us.

The MSc in Global Health: Food Security, Sustainability and Biodiversity is an exciting new partnership between Royal Holloway and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Students on this degree will study at Royal Holloway and at Kew, learning from world leading experts at both institutions and spending approximately equal time at our main campus in Egham, Surrey and Kew’s main site in Richmond, south west London.

This one year course covers a range of topics at the intersections of environmental health and human health, addressing the crucial link between biodiversity, sustainable livelihoods and food security.

You will examine some of the most pressing issues affecting our planet, from deforestation and climate change to pollution and the threats from extinctions, intensive agriculture and a growing human population. You will learn about new, innovative solutions in food security such as AI, drones, robotics, and next generation sequencing and you will learn about innovative farming approaches, such as silvopasture, vertical farming and hydroponics. You will also consider crop histories, indigenous knowledge and the links between our environment, culture, economy and the health and livelihoods of people around the world, through our international network of partners in science, conservation, business and policy.

Duration: 1 year full time or 2 years part time
