Course content

Our Climate & Environmental Science (MSc) provides multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise on the complex and challenging climate-related and environmental issues facing communities across the globe. We focus on the dynamics and interactions between the Earth’s surface, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Students organise their studies along a pathway based on their interests: climate, risk and response; developing in-depth and critical understanding of contemporary global issues related to climate system interactions; and biogeochemical interactions in organic and inorganic systems. Students will be trained in cutting-edge analytical equipment, computational methods and advanced field techniques. The programme is ideal for those keen to pursue a professional career or research in the study of climate-related and environmental challenges.
