masters - Global database of study programmes?


I'm interested in finding all undergraduate/graduate study programmes on the topic of "Sustainable Consumption".


Is there a global database across all universities and teaching institutions that allows the user to search for study programmes filtered by a certain topic?



Answer



There's no global database that I know of. To illustrate: our Masters' courses do not, to the best of my knowledge, submit details to any. And we run several that relate to sustainable consumption, for some meaning of that phrase. I won't link to them, because that's just going to look spammy, but if you're interested, a quick web search will find them for you:




  • MSc in Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment

  • MRes Energy Demand Studies

  • Masters in Sustainable Resources (SRES)


Although there's no global database, there are national ones. For example, there is a site for Postgrad courses in the UK: here's their list of 1521 courses in the UK that have "sustainable" in the title or short description. But note that of the three I listed, only two are present in that list, so that particular search is not comprehensive: a course might be about sustainable consumption, without including the word "sustainable" in the title or short description.
