I\u2019m Min, a climate change documentary filmmaker from Thailand. I\u2019ve spent years in the media world, but I recently realized that to truly tell the story of our planet, I needed to bridge the gap between storytelling, science, and policy. That\u2019s what brought me to<\/span> the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-taught\/courses\/msc-environmental-sustainability-communication\/\"><b>MSc in Environmental Sustainability Education and Communication<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> here at the University of York.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This program is actually quite special-it\u2019s an interdisciplinary course now in its third year. It combines the strengths of the Department of Education (ranked 5th in the UK for research!) and the Department of Environment and Geography.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1152\" height=\"1420\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228815.jpg?resize=1152%2C1420\" alt=\"228815.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-34999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228815.jpg?w=1152&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228815.jpg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228815.jpg?resize=831%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 831w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228815.jpg?resize=768%2C947&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Learning Through Play and Practice<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my favorite parts of the course is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/studying\/manage\/programmes\/module-catalogue\/module\/EDU00137M\/\"><b>Transformative Environmental Education<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> module. Every week, we explore creative ways to teach environmental topics. In my experience, using tools like board games, storytelling, and even craft-based learning makes these complex issues so much more accessible. It\u2019s given me amazing ideas for how I can engage younger audiences through my future films.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I also really enjoyed the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/studying\/manage\/programmes\/module-catalogue\/module\/ARC00095M\/latest\"><b>Sustainability<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> module.

Did you know the City of York managed to reduce its carbon emissions by over 50% in just three years?. There are so many local NGOs and environmental activities where you can volunteer and expand your experience every week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On campus, I feel deeply fulfilled by the nature around me. The university is surrounded by lakes and rich biodiversity-it\u2019s common to see flocks of geese, swans, rabbits, and even foxes wandering around!. Plus, as one of the safest cities in the UK, I always feel secure here.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"35001\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0-576x1024.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?resize=864%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228811_0.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"35002\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0-1024x576.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/228809_0.jpg?w=1706&amp;ssl=1 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Support Every Step of the Way<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studying abroad isn&#8217;t always easy, but the community here is incredibly welcoming.
