Course content

The complexity of addressing climate change necessitates a diverse array of responses from various sectors of society.

Presently, we find ourselves lacking the necessary policies, institutions and societal initiatives to effectively tackle these challenges.

DCU’s MSc in Climate Change: Policy, Media & Society is unique in Ireland in its focus on the social sciences and humanities, on media, policy, law, governance, regulation and politics.

This unique and interdisciplinary programme is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change from multiple perspectives.
