Overview
During this Environmental Modelling programme from University College London (UCL) you will gain a well-rounded training in the role, implementation and application of models in environmental science.
Core modules provide a critical perspective on model-based science, and introduce essential computational and numerical methods.
The programme is contextualised with reference to the challenges of understanding both natural and human-induced changes to a variety of environmental systems.
Careers
The programme has been designed to provide an ideal foundation for PhD research, or for employment with environmental monitoring and protection agencies, industry and environmental consultancies. Graduates have gone on to careers as management consultants, business analysts and university researchers.Employability
Modelling was identified as the highest priority UK skills gap in a government review of the environmental sector. This MSc programme exposes students to the full range of environmental modelling which places graduates in a strong position to find employment. We anticipate that graduates of this MSc are either employed in the private environmental consulting sector or undertake a PhD.Programme Structure
