The Global Environmental Change, MSc at the University of Greenwich is designed for students who want to address the critical challenges of climate adaptation, sustainable development, and natural resource management. You will explore the complex interactions between land, water, and environmental policy, gaining a robust foundation in both natural and social sciences. By studying within the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), you will engage with research that informs global initiatives like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This master’s degree prepares you to analyse environmental data and develop evidence-based solutions for a changing planet.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, this programme integrates core modules such as environmental footprinting, meteorology, and research methods with specialised options like GIS for natural resource management and conservation ecology. You will participate in practical sessions, workshops, and field-based work that bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice. Through your independent research project, you will apply advanced methodologies to real-world environmental issues. You will graduate with the expertise to pursue impactful careers in environmental consultancy, policy development, and sustainable resource management within international organisations and the private sector.
