Course summary

Help tackle one of the world’s most pressing challenges with this interdisciplinary MSc, designed to equip the next generation of climate change professionals. You’ll gain critical expertise in the science, policy and practice of climate adaptation and mitigation, with opportunities to specialise in areas such as modelling, geohazards and citizen science – all under the guidance of UCL’s world-leading researchers. This interdisciplinary MSc offers a scientific and analytical understanding of the Earth system-encompassing the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere-and the complex drivers of climate variability and change. The course combines observational climate science with advanced environmental modelling, equipping students to analyse and interpret the impacts of climate change across physical and human systems. A key strength of the course lies in its integration of climate science with broader dimensions of anthropogenic environmental change, and its critical exploration of how climate knowledge interacts with social and policy responses. By bridging physical science and applied policy, this course enables students to develop the depth and range of understanding needed to address climate change in both scientific and societal contexts. This course is ideal for graduates from geography, environmental science, or related scientific disciplines who are keen to understand climate systems, data modelling, and the challenges of climate change. It will particularly appeal to those seeking careers in climate research, policy, or environmental consultancy.
