Overview
The Climate Change - Environment, Science and Policy MSc course at King's College London will help you explore a wide range of critical topics focusing on human-originated influences on the terrestrial, hydrological and atmospheric environments, and their biological, physical and societal consequences.
This MSc is unique because it’s flexible and allows you to study climate change from a policy or science pathway - and choose from an interdisciplinary list of optional modules to deepen your knowledge. You can choose to take the science pathway and concentrate your studies on the physical science aspects, such as forecasting climate change and its impacts. If you opt for the policy pathway, you’ll focus on the societal aspects, such as policymaking, adaptation and communication.
Key benefits
- Bring your understanding of climate and environmental change issues up-to-date, focusing on the human influences and societal consequences of climate change.

- Develop your understanding of what policymakers and society need from scientific research in order to respond to global and regional environmental changes.
- Find out more about the nature of the uncertainties involved in future predictions.
