Master of Science - Environment, Climate Change and Development

Address the challenges of global environmental climate change and economic development with University of Reading's MSc Climate Change and Development master’s degree. Climate change has far-reaching economic and social implications. Through this programme, students will examine the social-scientific drivers and consequences of climate change – and its associated policy debates – by integrating the natural and social science of climate change, and applying cutting-edge, transdisciplinary tools to the subject.

Students will:

• join the highest-ranking UK university for Agriculture and Forestry (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021 - Agriculture & Forestry). They’re ranked 12th in the world, and are the only UK university in the top 50. • focus on the interface between climate change and development, with particular attention paid to the perspective of ecological economics. • prepare for work in aid and development agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government departments.
