If you are interested in the environment and issues concerning sustainable development, conservation and the management of natural resources, and would like to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to assist with the implementation and maintenance of sustainable environmental management, this course is ideal. It focuses on combining sound environmental practice with economic and social agendas. These subjects are taught in combination with the fundamentals of management theory, setting your scientific knowledge in a vocational context.

What will you study?

There is a choice of two paths to take with this MSc. Path B allows you to omit the Waste Management and Contaminated Land Remediation module – which examines the types, sources and effects of environmental contaminants and their effects on ecosystems and human health – and concentrate more on the management studies modules.

The sustainable environmental development modules enable you to evaluate the changing nature of human interaction with the environment; examine current conservation policy, strategies and issues; and look at the involvement and response of commercial, industrial and public sectors to environmental issues. The management studies modules give you an insight into how the business world operates and will introduce you to marketing concepts and people management skills.
