The Postgraduate Certificate in Climate Change aims to meet the needs of both climate change practitioners and those hoping to move into this fast-developing sector. It is ideal if you are interested in studying climate change at postgraduate level for personal or professional reasons, but you don't want to commit to a full MA.
The programme provides a comprehensive advanced-level grounding in many areas of climate change and an opportunity to reflect on practice at both individual and corporate levels. As it is offered through part-time, evening, face-to-face study, it is ideal if you want to combine study with a continuing career.

About this course
You will learn about key issues in the three main areas of science, policy and business, by engaging with academic, professional and popular literature. You will also critically evaluate scientific scenarios for future climates and landscape impacts, assess the effectiveness of different policy approaches, and determine suitable business responses to the climate change challenge.
Graduates can pursue a career in business, environmental management, local government, policy work, and in environmental groups and charities. Possible professions include nature conservation officer, environmental consultant, or geographical information systems officer.
A second-class honours degree (2:2) or equivalent.
Applications are reviewed on their individual merits and your professional qualifications and/or relevant work experience will be taken into consideration positively. We actively support and encourage applications from mature learners.
