This programme provides the necessary multidisciplinary training and is relevant to those concerned with the management of natural resources and the formulation and implementation of policies that create environmental improvements at local, national and international levels, and in community, corporate and government organisations.

The MSc and Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Management are approved by the Institute for Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), subject to the completion of specified modules.
