Develop your scientific skills and knowledge, and learn about the science underpinning climate change, through an MSc thats never been more essential. Climate change resulting from human activity will present us with demanding challenges that will require people with expertise and skills that encompass society, policy, and physical science.

Youll have the freedom to approach your studies in an interdisciplinary way, depending on your interests and career destination. Based within the long-established School of Environmental Sciences, youll learn from lecturers in the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), widely recognised as one of the world leading authorities on climate, and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, who provide evidence to inform societys transition to a sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient future.

Youll discover the fundamentals of the changing climate from the past two millennia into the future. You'll examine climate model projections of the future, from global scales to extreme events such as drought. You'll learn about relationships between energy and economy, enabling you to critically engage with debates around net zero, innovation and emergent technologies.
