The different global crises that the world is facing are interconnected, and many are determined by the way that we have used the earth’s resources, and prioritised development and growth.
‘Planetary Health’ is a new field of study which examines these factors and their consequences, and looks at ways in which redesigning, connecting and leveraging the interdependent health, environment and economic systems could offer new global solutions.
The challenge is how we can do this in a socially, economically and environmentally empathetic manner.
This interdisciplinary MSc programme has been developed with expertise from across the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science and the College of Science and Engineering.
It equips students with the critical and data skills required to understand and design solutions for global crises. In particular, crises at the intersection of the future health and wellbeing of people and our planet, including:
The MSc Planetary Health has a strong focus on engaging local governments, finance and industry, and in designing policies with action-oriented and context-sensitive solutions. Students will:
This programme is part of an interconnected portfolio of postgraduate study in the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI). EFI supports interdisciplinary teaching, learning and research that is focused on complex global and social challenges.
Our programmes are all taught by academic experts from many different subject areas.
As an EFI student, you will develop creative, critical and data-informed thinking that cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries. You will have the space to think deeply about questions linked to your own passions and professional goals, and will develop a project based on an issue that you care about.
As well as knowledge specific to your area of study, studying at EFI will give you the skills and understanding you need to become a creative, confident and critical citizen in a fast-changing world. These will include:
You can join us regardless of whether you already have skills in the use and application of digital data.
At the Edinburgh Futures Institute, we challenge, create, and make change happen. We are focused on tackling today’s increasingly complex issues and shaping a better tomorrow through education and research with a difference. We bring people and disciplines together to spark the unexpected. We are creating a curious, open-minded, thought-laboratory in order to make better futures possible.
The purpose of the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) is to pursue knowledge and understanding that supports the navigation of complex futures. EFI’s distinctiveness stems from our approach to research, education and engagement – an approach that combines multi-disciplinarity with co-production. Working with industry, government and communities (at home and abroad) we will build a challenge-led and data-rich portfolio of activity that has demonstrable ethical, social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts.
Critical: Be critical and challenge with kindness, humility and persistence. Nothing should be taken for granted. No assumptions left unprobed. We are working on pressing social issues that need deep and novel ways of thinking: this is not a practice run. We are open, curious, provocative, constructive and mindful of a University’s role in confronting uncomfortable questions.
Participatory: We invite people at all stages of life and from across all disciplines to work hand-in-hand and bring their ways of working and ideas together. Importantly, we also extend this participation and collaboration to industry, the public, and the government.
Future-facing : EFI is a place to embrace the untraditional, the untried and the unexpected. A place where invention and innovation are part of daily life. Here, we define challenges, co-create, envision, experiment, prototype, and evaluate from new perspectives, to make better futures.
The biggest challenges facing societies globally are complex and interconnected. Our approach recognises that insight and innovation can come from bringing the arts, humanities and the social sciences into contiguity with data science, engineering, the natural sciences and medicine. And our ethos and commitment to co-production stem from the University’s historic principles of the ‘democratic intellect’ updated now in Strategy 2030. These principles focus on the civic responsibilities of the University is working with and for its wider communities, and the importance of opening up education to all who can benefit.
One of EFI’s first major programmes is focused on the challenges and opportunities posed by the revolution in data, digital and artificial intelligence. EFI is a key component of the University’s Data-Driven Innovation contribution to the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal. This multi-million-pound investment by the UK and Scottish Governments aims to increase the provision of data and digital skills in the workforce and secure economic prosperity for all.
EFI’s data-driven innovation programme links to four key sectors: financial services (including fintech); creative industries; tourism and festivals; and public services (data civics). Additionally, it has two cross-cutting themes: the ethical implications of data analytics and artificial intelligence; and the future infrastructure needed to drive social, economic, environmental and cultural inclusion.
We will apply innovation from our data-rich activities to the futures of:
