MCCSP Master of Climate Change Science and Policy

Course Overview

Climate change is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges our world faces. Globally we already see some of the consequences: an increase in extreme weather events, the loss of habitable land, and growing concerns about food security, species loss, and threats to biodiversity.

Key Program Highlights

• Globally we already see some of the consequences: an increase in extreme weather events, the loss of habitable land, and growing concerns about food security, species loss, and threats to biodiversity.
• International agreements aim to keep global warming well below a 2 degree threshold to prevent even more repercussions.
• But deciding how we go about reducing our emissions—and how we adapt to changes that have already happened—requires scientists and policy-makers with a broad understanding of both physical sciences and human systems.
• The 180-point Master of Climate Change Science and Policy will give you the necessary combination of policy and science knowledge to address the real-world problem of climate change.
• It’s a cross-disciplinary programme that combines taught courses with a research essay or placement with an external organisation.
