Course summary

The study of how the environment operates is the foundation upon which we must build solutions for the impact of human activities, such as water pollution, climate change, deforestation, ocean acidification/anoxia and biodiversity loss. This multidisciplinary MSc programme provides underpinning knowledge of the physical and chemical operation of Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, climate and terrestrial water cycle, and the ways that human activities are disturbing these systems, alongside skills-based training to measure and assess environmental problems. This is coupled with tuition in the essential skills of scientific research, critical analysis and communication, coding, data analysis and visualisation, and machine learning with options which will equip you to enter professions providing environmental solutions or requiring contextual knowledge of environmental systems to solve related problems, inform policy or continue to further study. This course welcomes graduates from a variety of backgrounds, including STEM subjects, environmental science and geography. You’re able to select across a range of modules to either develop a broad understanding of Earth system processes, or to select groups of modules to develop skills in the numerical modelling of the environment. Why study at Leeds: Our globally-renowned research conducted right here in our School of Earth and Environment feeds directly into the course, shaping your learning with the latest thinking in environmental science. Advance your knowledge and skills in critical areas in environmental science, with the flexibility to tailor the course to what interests you through a range of optional modules. Conduct your own individual research project as part of your course and gain experience in researching and delivering a project that focuses on a real-world problem and allows you to explore your specific interests. Experience excellent practical and theoretical teaching delivered by a programme team who have years of research and field campaign experience from within the School of Earth and Environment.
