MSc
Summary
Whether you’re working in the environment sector, or want to move in that direction, if you’re passionate about creating a greener future and have a background in science, this course is for you. We’ll help you build your specialist knowledge and develop the quantitative and qualitative skills required to manage pollution effectively, drawing on a multidisciplinary approach to new and existing environmental issues.
Designed in parallel with the established on-campus Pollution and Environmental Control MSc, this online version offers the same high-quality content and top-tier teaching, but with built-in flexibility to fit your studies into your current commitments. With the option to pay in instalments as well as various scholarships and bursaries on offer, this course is open to you, whatever your circumstances, wherever you are in the world.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and want to transform the future for your local and global community, you’re in the right place.
What you will learn
-
Learn how to measure pollution, predict its mobility and recognise the quality of your measurements.
-
Address the effects of human activities on the biosphere, through the study of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
-
Get to grips with the structure of the atmosphere, and how weather and air motions affect the spreading of pollution.
-
Become skilled at environmental modelling, focusing on water movement and pollution.
-
Use industry models to examine real-world problems with GIS and environmental data.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | We require an Upper Second (2:1) Class Honours degree in a science subject (or the overseas equivalent). If you do not have a 2:1, but have relevant work experience, you may be considered. |
