How you will learn

This course is available to study full- or part-time with an evening timetable, with classes scheduled in the evening so you can combine your studies with a continuing career. It allows you to engage critically with key literature, and explore relevant and topical issues in lectures and seminars, so you can gain an informed understanding of the principal concepts and issues in environmental science and policy.

You will test and develop your ideas through interaction with your lecturers and fellow students, many of whom are already experienced professionals. You will also have access to high-quality online resources through our virtual learning site, including preparatory reading materials and pre-recorded lectures which you can engage with at a time that suits you.

We offer this course as a Master’s, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate. The Certificate and Diploma are ideal if you are interested in studying at postgraduate level for personal or professional reasons, but you don't want to commit yet to a full MSc. With these, you will study fewer modules and you do not complete a dissertation.
