About the degree programme

This MSc was previously titled MSc Carbon Management (Online Learning).

If you are passionate about climate change and its global impact or want a career where you can be part of the solution to one of the world's greatest and most complex challenges, this programme is for you.

With our MSc Climate Change Management (Online Learning), you can develop the skills and knowledge to engage critically with climate change discussions and challenges for an equitable transition toward a resilient, low-carbon future for all.

This is a 100% online part-time programme, enabling you to study flexibly and at your own pace, wherever you are in the world. Many students continue to work full-time and partake in the programme.

This interdisciplinary programme is fast-paced and dynamic. Your studies will draw widely on the latest research in several climate change-related fields. You will also focus on case studies from Scotland and further afield.

Throughout this interactive degree, you are encouraged to dive in and join the conversation, participate in group activities, and offer your critical analysis of the topics. You can learn not only from lecturers, but also from your fellow students. Together, we work to create a positive culture in how we think about and act towards the global climate crisis challenge
