Summary
MSc Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction is your gateway to understanding our planet’s past, present and future.
This course explores how environments evolve over time and how we can use that knowledge to shape a more sustainable world.
In an era of climate change and environmental crisis, there’s a growing demand for specialists who can monitor, analyse and model natural systems. Governments, industries and research institutions all need professionals who can help predict and manage environmental change.
You’ll develop advanced theoretical knowledge, alongside practical expertise in collecting, interpreting, and analysing environmental data from both the present and the distant past.
Explore how environmental systems interconnect and respond to both natural forces and human impact, while developing the modelling skills to understand these complex dynamics.
During your studies, you’ll learn how to design and carry out field and laboratory experiments, whether you’re monitoring modern-day environmental processes or reconstructing ancient climates and ecosystems.
You’ll also gain experience using real-world data to build and test environmental models, equipping you for a career in consultancy, environmental management, or further academic research.
As part of the course, you’ll take part in a fully funded, week-long residential field course in Northumberland.
This immersive experience gives you the opportunity to apply your skills in real-world settings, from data collection and analysis to interpreting complex environmental processes, while working closely with peers and academic experts.
By combining hands-on experience with a deep understanding of environmental systems, this course equips you to tackle the pressing environmental challenges of today and tomorrow.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | We require a UK Honours degree with a First or Upper Second (2.1) classification or the overseas equivalent in Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Geography or a related discipline. Graduates in Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Mathematics or Engineering related disciplines are also welcome. When assessing your academic record we take into account the grades you have achieved and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification. |

Summary
MSc Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction focuses on analysing past, present, and future dynamic environments, providing you with the skills for a career in environmental management or consultancy, and a firm grounding for research in the environmental sciences.
Concerns over the human impact on the environment have stimulated demand from governments and industry for the monitoring, analysis and modelling of natural processes in environmental systems.
This is essential if we are to improve understanding of the interrelation of environmental variables to predict and manage their responses to anthropogenic perturbations.
By studying this course, you will gain:
- advanced theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to collect, interpret and analyse contemporary and past
environmental data;
- modelling skills to investigate the interrelationships between environmental variables, and to predict their responses to
changing internal and external conditions;
- intellectual and practical skills to design and undertake field and/or laboratory experiments in contemporary
environmental process-monitoring, or palaeo-environmental reconstruction, and to design and test appropriate environmental models with the data you collect.
