This ISEP accredited programme provides an outstanding foundation for a career in environmental management by providing diverse perspectives and practical training on the scientific, economic, ethical and political challenges of sustainability and environmental protection. Exploring topics that span the natural and social sciences, you’ll gain vital insight into the whole spectrum of environmental management issues – from law and ethics to impact assessments, freshwater environments and climate change to contaminated land, river basin plans to marine regulations. We've designed the programme flexibly to equip you with an in-depth understanding of the essential theories, as well as practical fieldwork and industry experience. Key features: • Gain broad-based, vocationally focused training led by expert academic staff with industry experience, in an enthusiastic and interactive learning environment that includes a residential field course. • Tailor your studies for the career you want – from environmental agencies and consultancies to local or central government and research – and take your place shaping the pioneering policy and projects of the future. • Focus on the aspects of sustainable environmental management that you feel most strongly about, with an individual research project and accompanying dissertation. • Work side by side with experts from across the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Plymouth Business School – which were rated as ‘internationally excellent’ in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. • Benefit from our local, national and international sector connections as part of a respected and active research community that includes groups such as the Marine Institute – the first and largest of its kind in the UK. • Add value to your qualification by studying on a programme accredited by the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP)* – the benchmark for high-quality programmes recognised internationally by learners and employers. • Balance your work commitments and further education with the opportunity to study part time for a masters-level qualification. • By enrolling on our MSc you will become a student member of ISEP and on graduation you will be entitled to become a professional member using the suffix GRADISEP.
