课程概览
This course will build your knowledge of key environmental systems and processes while developing your ability to engage critically with contemporary environmental debates. Lectures, seminars and interactive discussions will provide you with a strong theoretical foundation. Building on this, the course focuses on developing enhanced data skills so that you can collect and analyse complex environmental data to back up hypotheses with scientific insight. Hands-on learning will form a key element of your study experience - computer labs, fieldwork and laboratory sessions will give you practical experience in geospatial analysis, environmental monitoring and quantitative methods. You’ll apply these skills in real-world contexts and gain confidence in designing and conducting independent research projects under expert supervision. An advanced research project will give you the opportunity to carry out an original study that integrates all your learning. Tailored tutorials and career guidance focus on preparing you for professional opportunities in environmental consultancy, policy, research and sustainability-focused industries worldwide. We focus on the development of practical skills that are highly valued by employers from across the environmental sector, including geospatial programming, sensor deployment and machine learning - giving you the skills and knowledge to monitor the environment at scale. We use an approach designed to deliver contemporary skills needed for our fast-changing world, for those who seek careers that tackle the climate crisis and natural hazards. You will be taught by world-leading experts in climate change, glaciology, volcanology, environmental hazards and climate adaptation. Whether you're a graduate with a background in science, social science or engineering, or a professional wanting to retrain, this MSc could prepare you for the next step in your career. Our course welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds who are eager to tackle toda
