MSci Climate Change

The first three years of this four year degree programme follows a similar structure to the BSc Climate Change, before allowing you to study advance Master’s modules in your fourth and final year.

Year 1
A series of compulsory modules introduce you to the major global environmental challenges facing mankind, with an emphasis on climate change. Multi-disciplinary modules from the School of Environmental Science enable you to develop the essential analytical skills you will need during further years – including Maths for Scientists and Sustainability in Society.

Year 2
As the course progresses you will be given greater freedom to tailor your course around your own interests, as you choose from a large catalogue of optional modules. Compulsory modules begin to diverge from core science towards the wider implications of climate change.

Year 3
Your third year of study is centred around a large individual research project, allowing you to investigate a specialist area in depth. You will also study a range of advanced modules to continue to develop your knowledge and expertise.

Year 4
During your final year you will undertake a substantial piece of independent research in a topic that matches your interests. You will also study advanced level subjects chosen from a wide range of optional modules, such as Sustainable Consumption and Energy and Climate Change.
