Course Description
The study of environmental sciences is essential to our understanding of natural systems and their interactions with people. The new MSci programme will deal with issues such as climate change, river pollution, the incineration of toxic waste, hurricanes and earthquakes, and resource management. A key element of the programme is flexibility – you will be able to choose your own preferred route through the degree programme: physical; chemical; geological; ecological; management policy; or any combination of your choice.The programme will enable you to develop a critical awareness of issues at the frontier of research, along with a comprehensive understanding of research methods and their limitations. You will gain the qualities of self-direction and originality in applying knowledge, solving problems and conducting research. And most importantly this programme will inspire a lifelong interest in and understanding of environmental sciences.
The first three years of the programme will follow the same profile as the BSc Environmental Sciences. In the fourth and final year you will study a range of masters level modules, as well as undertaking a substantial piece of independent research in a topic that matches your interests.
