Master of Science in Environment (by research)

Program Overview

Gain experience of independent research to solve current environmental challenges, guided by an expert in the field.

You’ll choose from a range of current research projects aligned with the department’s core themes, such as climate change, biodiversity, sustainability, or pollution. By contributing to one of these projects, you’ll gain valuable experience in designing and conducting research, while developing key skills in critical thinking, analysis, and communication. Guided by expert academics, you’ll work in advanced facilities and benefit from a wide network of partners across academia, government, industry, and the nonprofit sector.

Whether full-time over 12 months or part-time over 24 months, you’ll be part of a vibrant and supportive research community, ready to take the next step in your career in research, policy, consultancy, or beyond. While the main focus of your MSc by Research will be your project, you will access training through a Masters-level module in research skills and attend university training courses.

You will also become a member of at least one of our five challenge area research groups and join other academic and social events alongside our PhD students and staff. We will provide you with a research training and support grant of £1000 to support your project. You will also have access to a desk and a PC in one of the department’s postgraduate offices for the duration of your programme.
