Start Date between Nov 22 and July 26

The objective of this module is to offer insight into, and understanding of, the thinking processes that underlie human judgement and decision making. In particular, it focuses on the predictable judgmental errors and decision biases that commonly arise, and offers strategies for improving these decisions in situations from simple daily activity to complex and strategic decisions.

This module is designed to help students develop and demonstrate the skills required to carry out a substantial individual project in a chosen aspect of business and sustainability. Core skills for conducting the individual project are first developed through guided online learning. At the start of the research project students are allocated a supervisor who will work with the student on a one-to-one basis and may also facilitate some small group meetings in addition to one-to-one supervision.

The module provides students with an insight into the ways in which human-environment interactions are governed. Through studying the module students will be able to: - Appreciate the need for sustainability related policy and governance and be able to assess the role and potential limitations associated with various policies. - Gain an understanding of the key factors and stakeholders which can influence the processes and outcomes related to governance. - Draw on their critical knowledge of environmental governance and policy in order to provide an organisation/sector with operational and strategic guidance on environmental governance and policy related issues. Overall - through studying the module, students will gain a critical appreciation of the complexities associated with governance, policy and the environment and will be able to discuss and debate these complexities in an informed and insightful manner.
