Key Facts

The Master’s programme includes the same courses, followed by a full year of research. Our highly interactive courses develop your fundamental understanding of the social dimensions of environmental issues. The Master’s degree sees you design and carry out a substantial independent research project.

Working closely with our academic team, you will develop excellent skills for analysing and understanding information, communicating clearly, and conducting ethical research with communities. You will also be part of a community of learners—students and academics—who are committed to collective success.

You can choose to complete a one-year Postgraduate Diploma or a two-year Master's that will include a thesis. Both programmes offer you the flexibility to choose the courses that best suit your interests and career goals.

If you are interested in creating a better environment and have a Bachelor's degree with a B+ average in a relevant subject (or B for the PGDip), then postgraduate Environmental Studies is ideal for you. If you don't have a degree but have significant relevant experience, you may also be able to enrol in one of the programmes.
