Summary
Each year, the effects of climate change become more pronounced. People all over the world are displaced due to rising sea levels, crop-destroying droughts and increasingly frequent floods and forest fires. Over the next decade, these climate consequences will only intensify. How we chose to move forward is one of the most important ethical questions we face.
Glasgow Caledonian University is the university for the common good. You will benefit from an impressive, international teaching cohort, research-led and further enhanced by expert speakers, we provide a truly practical learning experience. The only programme of its kind, this masters programme can help influence change at the point where science, human rights and policy development intersect.
The growing field of climate justice needs people who can help craft public policy at local or global level, work with non-profit and intergovernmental agencies, assist developmental organisations or pursue academic research in the field.
Developing a strong theoretical foundation as well as a range of relevant skills, you will:
Study the concepts of climate justice through investigation of climate injustices Learn about climate litigation, climate finance and just transition Explore approaches to climate adaptation and mitigation across the globe Develop your knowledge on human rights and how they are realised or inhibited Adopt a critical, gendered perspective on economics
Graduate prospects Graduates of the MSc Climate Justice have found rewarding careers with development organisations, the UN and related organisations, government agencies and non-profit organisations - as well as within academic and research institutions.
What you will study The MSc Climate Justice provides students with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the concept of climate justice. The course is tailored to provide an interdisciplinary perspective to this topic, allowing students to graduate with a master's degree that equips them with the necessary concepts, skills and methodologies for addressing climate justice in their future work.
The core modules are focused on the key issues for climate justice, whilst elective options enable the student to build their skills and knowledge on sustainability and environmental management, to take a broader economic or socio-political perspective, or to enhance their understanding of global health.
The course can be studied full-time for one year, part-time over two years, or through distance learning over 2-5 years.
