Training in Sustainable Development and Sustainable Communities

The University of Northampton offers training in Sustainable Development and Sustainable Communities through the Northampton Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA).

The NIUA, based in the University's School of Social Sciences, has developed a Foundation Degree in Sustainable Communities in partnership with University College Milton Keynes and the Homes and Communities Agency.

The Foundation Degree offers specialist pathways in:

• Housing
• Community development

The Foundation Degree is part of a portfolio of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes.

The NIUA will also deliver a postgraduate Sustainable Communities module from January 2011.
