MSc Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Analysis

The environment is currently being subjected to unprecedented anthropogenic change. As we enter the fourth Industrial revolution it is imperative that industries are equipped with professionals who consider, and are able to evaluate, the environmental consequences of new technologies and developments.

This Masters in Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Analysis is designed to provide chemists, biologists and environmental scientists with the skills required to measure natural and man-made chemicals in the environment. Alongside these analytical skills you’ll learn about the impact of pollutants in our atmosphere, water systems and wider ecosystems. And we’ll put this all in context by providing you with detailed knowledge of the policy and management systems that underpin environmental monitoring.

The programme is designed for graduates coming from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, and so the programme will start by providing a grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry, biology and ecosystems. This will be delivered by blended learning that integrates face-to-face contact, digital activities and group work to nurture a strong learning community and peer-support and peer-to-peer learning networks.
