Environmental Conservation and Management

The School of the Built and Natural Environment has for many years offered programmes designed to develop and prepare students for a career in the environmental sector. The University led the way by becoming the first university to offer an Environmental Conservation degree in 1998. There is an increasing societal and political demand for the sustainable management of our environment and natural resources.

This MSc programme will develop your abilities to address the competing needs of society, the economy and the environment in a practical and holistic way, supported by geographical and academic knowledge. The programme is divided into two parts; you will complete a series of taught modules followed by an independent research-based dissertation in part two. The taught modules will provide you with the industry-specific legal, technical and managerial abilities, which are sought after by employers. You will also be able to select a module that is relevant to your particular interest or area of employment. This option provides a degree of flexibility in your course content as well as a platform for further study at MPhil of PhD level.
