Overview

Presently, we find ourselves lacking the necessary policies, institutions and societal initiatives to effectively tackle these challenges.

This unique and interdisciplinary Climate Change - Policy, Media and Society programme from Dublin City University is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change from multiple perspectives.

Careers

The MSc in Climate Change: Policy, Media, and Society is a great choice for recent graduates in science, engineering, communication, social and political science, as well as for government employees working on climate policies. It's also beneficial for industry professionals who want to understand climate-related regulations, educators interested in teaching climate change and individuals from unions and NGOs who may engage in climate policy advocacy.

After completing this innovative programme, graduates will be well-prepared for careers in environmental or climate-related roles in government agencies, businesses' Environmental, Climate, or Corporate Social Responsibility departments and within civil society, whether in Ireland or abroad.
