Environmental Science and Technology MSc
Increasingly, novel technologies are developed from and applied to the Environmental Sciences. Areas such as informatics, sensor networks, imaging techniques and pollution remediation technologies are impacting the way we view and manage the environment. The MSc in Environmental Science and Technology degree explores this field offering broad options and allowing you to choose your area of focus.
For example, you may wish to specialise in areas of earth science, investigating geological hazards and associated risk abatement technologies, or, alternatively, focus on flood forecasting software and novel passive sampler technology for measuring water pollution.
As well as gaining knowledge in one or more areas of environmental science and technology, you will also develop skills in statistics and computing making you a confident and competent handler of data. Graduates will typically find themselves working for consultancies, government organisations or going on to study for a PhD.
