Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc

About

Our Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc is an interdisciplinary course that examines key issues relating to climate and environmental change at an advanced level. You will explore a wide range of critical topics, focusing on human influences on the Earths climate and environment, and their societal consequences. This MSc is unique because its flexible and allows you to study climate change from a policy or science pathway - and choose from an interdisciplinary list of optional modules to deepen your knowledge. You can choose to take the science pathway and concentrate your studies on the physical science aspects, such as forecasting climate change and its impacts. If you opt for the policy pathway, youll focus on the societal aspects, such as policymaking, adaptation and communication. This flexibility allows you to specialise while still studying modules from the other pathway. By drawing on social, natural, and environmental science approaches, youll learn how to critically analyse and interpret scientific evidence related to climate change, its distributional impacts across the globe, and the responses of nation-states, businesses, and other key stakeholders. Youll join an alumni network boasting graduates working in consultancy, NGOs, governments and further academic research.

Bring your understanding of climate and environmental change issues up-to-date, focusing on the human influences and societal consequences of climate change.

Learn about how the potential future impacts and consequences of environmental change can be studied, including changes to the climate, carbon cycle, hydrology and land use.

Master your ability to address complex research and policy questions with newly developed multidisciplinary skills. Gain the skills to critically evaluate and analyse environmental change research, the implications of the science, and the range of possible policy responses.

Develop your understanding of what policymakers and society need from scientific research in order to respond to global and regional environmental changes.

Find out more about the nature of the uncertainties involved in future predictions.
