Master of Science - Natural Resources (By Research)

Students can gain expertise in sustainable development from the Natural Resources Institute with an MSc by Research in Natural Resources. This research master's in natural resources is for graduates and professionals looking for greater knowledge and expertise in natural resources and sustainable development. With a better understanding of the planet's natural resources, students will explore how to meet developmental needs without placing unsustainable demands on the environment. The emphasis is on tropical applications, which is a specialist area for the Natural Resources Institute, but the approaches are generic and may be applied globally. The MSc by Research in Natural Resources consists of a selection of taught courses (from the MSc Global Environmental Change and MSc Agriculture for Sustainable Development) plus an extended research project which enables learners to focus on an aspect relevant to their interests. The programme provides awareness of natural resources, their management and sustainable development. Students will also understand how to apply the principles of sustainable natural resource management to their own discipline.
