This program is offered in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. We face numerous sustainability challenges daily - from air and water pollution, climate change, and unsustainable agricultural practices to population growth and dietary concerns regarding hunger, obesity, and excessive meat consumption.

The MSc in Global Health: Food Security, Sustainability and Biodiversity represents an innovative collaboration between Royal Holloway and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Participants will divide their time between Royal Holloway's Egham campus and Kew's Richmond location, benefiting from top-tier instruction at both renowned institutions.

This intensive one-year program explores critical connections between environmental and human health, focusing on the vital relationship between biodiversity, sustainable living, and reliable food sources.

Students will investigate urgent global concerns including deforestation, climate change, pollution, species extinction risks, industrial farming, and population growth. The curriculum explores cutting-edge food security technologies like AI, drone systems, robotics, and advanced genetic sequencing, alongside progressive agricultural methods such as silvopasture, vertical farming, and hydroponics. The program also examines crop evolution, traditional ecological knowledge, and the complex relationships between our natural world, cultural practices, economic systems, and global health outcomes through our extensive network of scientific, conservation, business, and policy partners.
