Summary
Societies, governments, and businesses across the globe are faced with increasingly complex environmental challenges, in areas such as climate change, adaptation and local environmental quality in our cities and regions. The UCD MSc Environmental Policy, Strategy & Leadership arms graduates with the capacity to develop environmental policy choices, analyse them critically, and provide guidance in regard to their implementation and evaluation. The programme introduces graduates to research-based economic and environmental tools and insights to enable graduates to be effective change management leaders and management leaders and environmental and sustainability experts in both the public and private sectors.
UCD Environmental Policy has an established international track record as a leading research centre in environmental policy and is in the Top 150 QS World University Rankings by subject area. Students may also choose to undertake either a thesis, an internship, or an academic research project during the Summer trimester.

The part-time program is scheduled to be completed over two years with one or two modules (10 credits per module) per semester.
