Overview

You’ll have the freedom to approach your studies in an interdisciplinary way, depending on your interests and career destination. Based within the long-established School of Environmental Sciences, you’ll learn from lecturers in the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), widely recognised as one of the world leading authorities on climate, and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, who provide evidence to inform society’s transition to a sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient future.

You’ll discover the fundamentals of the changing climate from the past two millennia into the future. You'll examine climate model projections of the future, from global scales to extreme events such as drought. You'll learn about relationships between energy and economy, enabling you to critically engage with debates around net zero, innovation and emergent technologies.

You’ll study Climate Change in the inspiring University of East Anglia campus, in the vibrant and historic city of Norwich. You’ll be part of a world-leading university that has been at the forefront of understanding our climate and environment for over half a century.

As a graduate of this course, you’ll have strong employability potential in many careers including academia, consultancy, industry, policy-making, or government research agencies, in areas from impacts and adaptation to net zero and sustainability. You’ll also be well-prepared to continue your studies if you’re interested in delving deeper into climate or environmental studies.

After the Course

Our MSc Climate Change and Net Zero Solutions programme will open the doors to a wide variety of careers. You could go into environmental consultancy, postgraduate research (e.g. PhDs), fundamental or applied academic research, local government, utilities, health, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), climate impacts and policy, scientific publishing, or government research agencies, to name a few.
