The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the critical concepts and practical challenges related to providing sustainable energy in humanitarian settings, with a particular focus on United Nations frameworks and UNITAR's initiatives.

The aim of this research-led module is to understand how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relate to each other and to model their interactions, with a special focus on the quantitative analysis of Climate, Land, Energy, and Water systems (CLEWs). Students will work with the CLEWs modelling framework, developed as part of the Climate Compatible Growth programme within STEER – the Loughborough Centre for Sustainable Transitions: Energy, Environment and Resilience.

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of co-creation and co-management approaches for inclusive project planning and implementation. The focus will be on integrating knowledge systems in the context of the triple nexus (humanitarian-development-peace).

The aims of this module are to consolidate students' experiences of undertaking research in both the social science and humanities traditions and to equip them with the appropriate intellectual and practical methodological, writing and reflexive skills to successfully undertake an independent and original piece of critical research on an issue of relevance to their programme.

The principal aim of this module is to produce an original, critical piece of research specific to the programme on which a student is registered. An original analysis of data is expected, which may use primary data or secondary data or a combination of the two. with appropriate contextualization in the relevant literature, progressive research methodologies and skills in data analysis, interpretation and writing-up.
