Whether working in the earth sciences, ecology, hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, climate science or environmental chemistry, Environmental Scientists increasingly need strong data manipulation, analysis, modelling and visualisation skills.
The interdisciplinary MSc in Environmental Data Science equips students with these skills, which enable improved understanding of environmental processes and inform societal action and sustainable decision-making. The uptake, use, and commercialisation of environmental data has created a demand for expertise in Data Science and you will be trained in a broad range of fundamental data science techniques. These skills could lead to careers focus on applications of environmental data analyses as well as a wide range of other data science opportunities. They address the shortage of qualified data scientists in the UK and abroad and will place you in a strong position for a data science career.
NB. The PGDip in Environmental Data Studies has the same modules as the MSc in Environmental Data Science, but does not include a dissertation.
