The Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc is a flexible programme allowing you to study either a Policy or a Science pathway. Our programme will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the processes and the nature of environmental changes occurring in the Earth-s terrestrial, hydrological and atmospheric environments. You will also develop essential research, analysis and critical-thinking skills that will help you to understand and interpret scientific evidence and also respond to the problems associated with global and regional environmental changes in the Earths' system.
The study programme is made up of optional and required modules and you must take modules with a value of between 180 credits and 210 credits to complete the programme, 60 of which will come from a dissertation of around 15,000 words. If you are studying full-time, you will complete the course in one year, from September to September. If you are studying part-time, your programme will take two years to complete.
You will take the required modules in the first year, and the dissertation in your second year. Key benefits Gain an up-to-date understanding of the nature and processes of environmental changes occurring in Earth's terrestrial, hydrological and atmospheric environments. Study the methods used to examine the potential future consequences of environmental changes. Learn to evaluate and analyse environmental change research critically and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses and potential societal implications of the science. Develop an understanding of the scientific evidence needed for policymakers and society to respond to the problems associated with global and regional environmental changes impacting the Earth.
