Summary
Overview
Develop your scientific skills and knowledge, and learn about the science underpinning climate change, through an MSc in climate changes that has never been more essential. Climate change resulting from human activity will present us with demanding challenges that will require people with expertise and skills that encompass society, policy, and physical science.
You’ll have the freedom to approach your studies in an interdisciplinary way, depending on your interests and career destination. Based within the long-established School of Environmental SciencesSchool of Environmental Sciences, you’ll learn from lecturers in the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), widely recognised as one of the world-leading authorities on climate, and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, who provide evidence to inform society’s transition to a sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient future.
You’ll discover the fundamentals of the changing climate from the past two millennia into the future. You'll examine climate model projections of the future, from global scales to extreme events such as drought. You'll learn about relationships between energy and economy, enabling you to critically engage with debates around net zero, innovation and emergent technologies.
You’ll study in the inspiring UEA campusUEA campus, in the vibrant and historic city of Norwich. You’ll be part of a world-leading university that has been at the forefront of understanding our climate and environment for over half a century.
As a graduate of this course, you’ll have strong employability potential in many careers including academia, consultancy, industry, policymaking, or government research agencies, in areas from impacts and adaptation to net zero and sustainability. You’ll also be well-prepared to continue your studies if you’re interested in delving deeper into climate or environmental studies.
