Embark on your academic journey with the MPhil/PhD Environmental Science at Middlesex University, a postgraduate research degree designed for aspiring scientists passionate about addressing critical environmental challenges. You will delve into vital areas such as water and air pollution, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), and advanced water treatment technologies, or explore the complexities of soil and sediment ecotoxicology using microbial biosensors. This programme is ideal if you are driven to conduct in-depth research, contributing original findings to fields like pollution control, remediation, and environmental management, preparing you for impactful careers in environmental science and policy.
This research programme is undertaken full-time on campus, typically over one year for an MPhil or three years for a PhD, though initial enrolment is for an MPhil with the opportunity to transfer. You will engage in rigorous academic inquiry, culminating in a substantial thesis, with guidance from expert supervisors. Your research may focus on areas like values-based decision-making within risk management, economics, psychology, or healthcare, drawing on methodologies from our Centre for Decision Analysis and Risk Management (DARM). You will graduate with advanced research skills and a deep understanding of environmental science, ready to pursue careers in academia, research institutions, or environmental consultancy.
