The MSc (Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security) at the University of Galway is designed for individuals seeking to address critical global challenges at the intersection of climate action, food systems, and sustainability. This multidisciplinary postgraduate programme invites students from diverse backgrounds—including science, engineering, social sciences, and policy—to combine their skills and contribute to building resilience in agriculture. You will explore how to create effective mitigation and adaptation strategies for the global food sector, aligning your learning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Zero Hunger and Climate Action.
This full-time, on-campus Masters degree is studied over one year, featuring a dynamic learning environment that includes web-based learning, lectures, seminars, excursions, and collaborative project work. You will be taught by world-leading scientists and researchers, engaging with topics such as social equity, gender equality, and climate justice. A significant component of your MScCCAFS is a research project, potentially leading to a published outcome, which can be undertaken within the university, at your place of work, or through a research placement. You will graduate equipped to tackle the climate crisis and pursue impactful careers in international agricultural research, policy development, or sustainable food systems management.
