Overview

You’ll learn from international experts how to properly evaluate the potential impacts of proposed policies, plans or projects, drawing on best practice from around the world. Learn through doing, based on an approach of applying theory in practice on a weekly basis, and through a field course. You’ll investigate case studies to clearly illustrate how environmental assessment works to deliver more sustainable outcomes.

This MSc Environmental Assessment and Management course at University of East Anglia is ideal for anyone who values the socio-ecological environment and wishes to contribute to sustainable development. You’ll experience the challenges associated with developing and applying practical skills by conducting fieldwork in all weathers, interviewing members of the public, presenting findings in front of your peers, and writing environmental management plans including allocating responsibilities and timings.

You’ll study in the inspiring UEA 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.

You’ll develop your research, communication, teamwork, and analytical skills – giving you the necessary skills for a career with environmental consultancies, decision-makers, regulators, statutory consultees, and NGOs, amongst others. As a graduate of this course, you’ll be well-prepared to pursue a PhD in a related field. You’ll also have strong employability potential in many careers including academia, environmental consultancy, industry, policy-making, or government research agencies.
