What is special about this course?
Extreme weather events are increasing in both intensity and frequency across the globe, many of an unprecedented severity. Advances in recent scientific understanding over the past decade confirm that such extreme events are attributable to global warming and would be statistically impossible without anthropogenic climate change.
Knowledge of extreme climate and hazards will only become more vital in both public and private arenas: could you become one of the experts that the world looks to for answers?
Learn to predict, assess, and respond to the challenges faced by this ever-changing phenomenon, on our MSc Extreme Weather, the first postgraduate qualification of its kind in Scotland.
Develop your skills as a future climate scientist and natural hazard expert, on this in-depth and illuminating course. Strengthen your ability to provide informed, scientific engagement and learn how to improve public awareness of weather and climate hazards with tools such as weather warning systems. Gain a greater understanding of the individual impacts of new, unprecedented, extreme events on human-induced climate change and assess the impact of rapidly increasing costs as a result of disasters.
If youre already involved in the renewables sector, or the implementation and management of sustainable development, and seeking to pursue professional development, or if your ambition is to work in these sectors in the future, join this dynamic and highly relevant course and become part of the solution that future generations are relying on.
