Course summary

Our MA in Climate, Risk and Society provides an in-depth understanding of how changes in the global climate resulting from human activity are set to pose new risks and challenges to society, whether in the form of natural physical events or more indirectly through political activity.The course explores how climate risk is perceived, managed and mitigated by individuals, organisations and governments around the world, taking a social science approach to climate change and resilience in addition to risk. This makes it as relevant to a learning background in natural sciences or engineering as it is to the social sciences.To further embed practice into the course, we work closely with the University’s Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR) and through this, you will gain a vital insight into practitioner and academic perspectives at the forefront of risk thinking and practice. The IHRR also hosts an annual seminar series tailored specifically to students on climate, hazards and risk postgraduate programmes.The postgraduate community is a vibrant and supportive network, and when you join us at Durham, you will be part of an active group that is both social and academic. You will be able to participate in research events and start to build an industry network, as well as attend talks given inside and outside the Department of Geography throughout the year.
