MSc Sustainability and Environmental Modelling
Environmental modelling can help improve environmental systems through research and analysis. This can help us work towards sustainability and how to plan for the future through decision making and policy. This course will give you the opportunity to learn about sustainability principles and facilitate pro-sustainability change. You will develop the practical skills needed for creating the changes and transformation to help individuals and society move towards more sustainable practices.
You will study areas such as:
- information systems and geospatial data
- environmental assessment
- sustainability in cities
You will also learn about the law and governance of strategic decisions on complex economic, environmental, and technological questions around sustainability. You'll learn to take decisions based on computerised modelling and assessment techniques. You will learn about the low carbon transition, with particular reference to renewables. This will prepare you to lead in thinking and practice on vital aspects of the ongoing low carbon energy transition taking place at all levels of energy governance.
Careers
As societies move to become more sustainable and develop low-carbon economies, this course will place you in the fast-growing area of energy, environment, society and governance (EESG) sections of firms.
It will give you the necessary skills and knowledge to take up a wide range of careers in:
- policy
- practical management
- training and research.
