Course summary

Anthropogenic climate change is disrupting global environmental processes, creating intersecting environmental crises that affect both human and non-human life. These challenges include: increased frequency and magnitude of hazardous events such as landslides, floods and droughts land degradation melting of polar/mountain glaciers, ice caps and permafrost and rising sea levels. This MSc responds to the question of how we can address these challenges in order to develop sustainable futures. The programme brings together state-of-the-art research in environmental processes across diverse systems from polar regions to deserts under changing climates, and advanced approaches to data acquisition, analysis and interpretation. On this programme, you will develop a detailed understanding of the relations and feedback between climate change and environmental processes. You will gain advanced-level skills of data collection, analysis, and interpretation needed for decision making under conditions of uncertainty and incomplete data. You will also gain experience working with partners, alongside the leadership and engagement and communication skills necessary to help you contribute to global efforts to enhance environmental sustainability. The course is designed to equip students for a wide range of environmental sustainability-related jobs across multiple sectors and in different national contexts. Students will exit the programme understanding the impact of anthropogenic climate change on environmental processes at different scales, and equipped with the skills to research, evaluate, propose and lead solutions that foster environmental sustainability.
