The M.Sc. in Natural Environment and Resources Management is an intensive 12-month full-time taught course and is ideal for first degree graduates in Earth systems and other relevant science subjects. The programme of studies spans three semesters and has been designed to provide students with a strong postgraduate grounding in key concepts and current thinking relevant to Earth systems science and its application to policy and planning. Students will also gain a solid methodological foundation as well as having the opportunity to carry out specialized research, during the third semester, in a relevant thematic area of their choice. During this course there may be opportunities for travel to other countries to conduct primary research.

The thematic areas being offered in October 2019 comprise biodiversity conservation, weather and climate, and marine resources management. Specialised course content in these areas will be delivered during the second semester, providing students with a sound knowledge base as well as the required methodology on which to build their individual research projects during the third and final semester.
