This course provides a holistic education and training in the understanding, management and development of the Earth's natural resources. It covers a broad range of environmental and sustainability issues and is designed especially for those wishing to enhance their existing skills and qualifications for careers in the environmental and Earth science professions.
Environmental law and policy is a central theme across the taught modules, and you can specialise in a particular area of interest by replacing a taught module with a self-study module on contemporary issues in environmental and Earth resource management. If you are unable to commit to the full masters programme, intermediate qualifications (PgCert/PgDip) are available.
What will you study?
You will examine the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the management of environmental problems that arise from the use and misuse of natural resources. You will be trained in relevant Earth science techniques for the collection, analysis and interpretation of environmental data.
You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to the study of particular environmental problems. You will also investigate the rationale behind the exploitation and conservation of the natural environment and the need for a sustainable management strategy. Your chosen topic for your major research project enables you to tailor the course to suit your interests.
