Summary
MSc Environmental Impact Assessment and Management equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to shape more sustainable decisions in planning, development and policy-making.
Designed for those looking to make a tangible impact on the environment, this course prepares you for professional practice at both a project and strategic level through the use of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) tools.
You will gain a solid foundation in environmental assessment frameworks, legislation, and methodologies, while also being introduced to the expanding field of environmental management, a critical area for organisations striving to meet global sustainability goals.
What sets this course apart is its emphasis on real-world application. Through immersive, hands-on workshops that mirror the challenges professionals face in the field, you will develop practical skills in critical analysis, reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Simulated consultancy tasks, group projects, and industry-informed case studies will prepare you for the fast-paced, multidisciplinary nature of environmental work.
You’ll also benefit from site visits that offer first hand insight into how environmental assessments are conducted on the ground, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Whether you're aiming for a role in consultancy, government, NGOs, or the private sector, this MSc will prepare you to lead on environmental decision-making that balances development with long-term ecological responsibility.
