MSc Climate Change Science and Policy This programme trains highly skilled graduates for professional employment in the public and private sectors, academia, consultancies and non-governmental organisations.
It is provided by the School of Geographical Sciences, which is the top-ranked geography department in the UK for research (Times Higher Education analysis of REF 2014). You will join our research groups in analysing key areas of science and policy.
This innovative MSc also allows you to develop a range of professional skills – including presentation, project work, teamwork and communication – which will be invaluable in your future career. It includes a strong emphasis on carrying out your own research project.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a scientific discipline, such as chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, earth sciences, geography or environmental sciences. Relevant professional experience or qualifications can also be put forward for consideration as equivalent to the academic entry requirements given above. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
MSc Environmental Policy and Management This programme is aimed at talented graduates seeking to develop or enhance their expertise in the fields of environmental policy, management, protection and advocacy.
The programme consists of six compulsory taught units and a dissertation project. Natural scientists introduce students to fundamentals of climate science and the analysis of remotely sensed data. Taught units delivered by social scientists provide training in areas such as environmental governance, policy analysis and statistical methods. In the module on consultancy, you have the opportunity to develop a range of practical skills through an extended team-based project that is of interest to an external partner organisation.
You will then complete a research dissertation of 15,000 words on an environmental topic of your choice, either independently or in partnership with an external organisation in the public, private or non-profit sector.
Each year, the School of Geographical Sciences provides financial support for an optional, self- organised field trip to a destination chosen by students. Recent destinations have included Berlin, Copenhagen, Riga and Amsterdam.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent qualification).

MSc Human Geography: Society and Space Human geography is a dynamic discipline with profound influence on current debates in the social sciences and humanities. Human geographers focus on the relationships between space and society, particularly the interconnection between environment, place and identity; knowledge; globalisation processes; social justice; and a variety of other vital themes relevant to the contemporary world.
The MSc programme provides you with a rigorous grounding in social theory and mainstream debates and techniques in human geography. It also offers a thorough training in qualitative and quantitative methods. Options allow for the development of specialisms in historical–cultural themes, postcolonial and decolonial geographies, spatial modelling, and debates surrounding affect and biopolitics.
You will complete three core units and choose from a selection of optional units. You will then complete a research-based dissertation of up to 15,000 words, which is submitted in September.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent qualification) in an appropriate subject.
