Our MSc in Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy is an interdisciplinary program that lets you examine crucial climate and environmental change issues at an advanced level. You'll investigate diverse critical subjects, with emphasis on humanity's impact on Earth's climate and environment, along with their societal effects. This program stands out for its adaptability, enabling you to approach climate change through either a policy or scientific lens while selecting from cross-disciplinary elective modules to enhance your expertise. Opt for the science track to focus on physical science components like predicting climate shifts and their effects. Alternatively, select the policy route to concentrate on societal dimensions such as policy development, adaptation strategies, and communication techniques. This adaptable structure lets you specialize while still incorporating elements from the alternative pathway. Through integrating social, natural, and environmental science methodologies, you'll develop skills to critically assess and interpret scientific data concerning climate change, its global unequal consequences, and responses from governments, corporations, and other major players. You'll become part of an alumni community with graduates employed in consulting, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, and academic research.
