Summary
How does climate change affect society and the environment, and how does society affect climate change? Our MSc Climate Change, Environment and Society will teach you the practicalities of managing climate challenges at a societal level. You will learn through an interdisciplinary lens that combines social and physical aspects of climate change with organisational and project management skills from related disciplines.
You'll gain a deep understanding of the risks we currently face, how we manage it effectively, and how societies can adapt to be more resilient for the future. By understanding the complexity of climate challenges and exercising problem-solving skills, you'll develop practical skills such as:
climate change risk and uncertainty assessment awareness of inequality within a globalised landscape organisational and project management skills cost benefit and scenarios analysis whole system thinking For your final project, you'll have the opportunity to investigate and design solutions for a real-life climate challenge with all the knowledge and skills gained throughout the course.
This is an interdisciplinary programme where you'll meet students from various backgrounds, each bringing a unique perspective to climate change and environmental issues. This is an excellent course for valuable peer-to-peer learning and a chance to broaden your global connections, as well as expanding your capacity to address a universal challenge from multiple viewpoints.
As masters students and therefore members of the university's research community, you will also have access to research seminars and lectures hosted by Nottingham Geospatial Institute and Centre for Environmental Geochemistry and the school’s research groups.
