This programme addresses the need to set a new curriculum for human societies and also the skill and knowledge needs required for the environment industry, predicted to be the largest industry in the 21st century.

It is targeted at the environmental professional and at the newly qualified, both of whom are looking for a qualification and training that is internationally recognised.

Initially you will attend core modules that provide a unifying basis of understanding which is further developed by the specialist elective modules. Thus, you develop a deep knowledge of several environmental topics, culminating in a research-based dissertation.
