Master of Science - Global Environmental Change

With Global Environmental Change, MSc degree, students will develop the knowledge and skills to address some of the world's major challenges. The study topics include climate change, environmental law and policy, meteorology and sustainability. This wide-ranging programme reflects the strength of unique expertise held within Greenwich's prizewinning Natural Resources Institute (NRI).

Greenwich's recent interdisciplinary research ranges from practical areas with a direct relevance to climate adaptation - such as agricultural practices - to issues of equity and environmental economics. NRI academics who run modules for this course have contributed to global initiatives such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports.

This interdisciplinary course prepares graduates for a range of careers, from non-governmental and developmental organizations to civil service roles in key areas such as environmental management, forestry, agriculture, etc. Graduates who take a practical laboratory project can take specific skills into an industrial setting. The independent research project also gives them an insight into research degrees (MPhil/PhD) and future careers in academia.
