Environmental Sustainability and Green Technology MSc

The MSc in Environmental Sustainability and Green Technology is designed to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental challenges whilst giving you the opportunity to specialise in several sustainability themes related to geosciences, energy generation, ecology, green information technology, environmental policy and politics, and project management.

As a student on the course you’ll gain

• An understanding of knowledge in the areas of science, technology, policy and green political theory relevant to environmental sustainability
• Experience in analytical and computer techniques to equip you with the skills to contribute to the solving of environmental challenges
• A conceptual understanding to critically evaluate current research and advance scholarship in environmental sustainability
• A comprehensive understanding of experimental design, planning and scientific techniques within your research project
• Problem-solving and team-working skills relevant to the implementation of sustainable technologies and policies.

Assessment

Modules are assessed by assignment, such as poster and oral presentations; media articles; reflective reports; essays, and/or examination. The research project is based on the submission of a 15 - 20,000 word report that is undertaken by the student in conjunction with an academic supervisor and, where appropriate, an industrial collaborator.
