This Programme is designed for science graduates in Engineering or GeoScience related subjects seeking an advanced academic qualification as a launch pad for careers in business, industry and government in the field of low carbon energy production.

Carbon management is now at the heart of tackling climate change and has rapidly become a central part of the global business environment.

PERICLES is a 2-year European Master degree integrated program (4 semesters) jointly taught in English under the co-direction of three main University Centres (University Versailles St-Quentin, France; University of Bergen, Norway; University of Edinburgh) with each centre respectively in charge of one semester of teaching.

Such principles are applied in the Stern Review of Climate Change, the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment and the Review of the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity. Students will be taught by research staff who have contributed to these highly influential reviews. The MSc provides critical training for anyone seeking employment in this field.

The Masters in Environment and Development explores the links between environmental change and the well-being and dignity of people living in poverty. By bringing together the latest environmental research with practical knowledge of international development, you will learn to analyse pressing social and environmental problems. Whether you presently work with an NGO or seek a career in environment and development, this MSc will equip you with skills to look at real world problems in a new way.

There is a requirement for well-trained postgraduates who can combine adequate understanding of the processes which give rise to environmental degradation and pollution problems with capability in management of natural resources, and who can thus play a vital role in devising and enacting strategies to protect and conserve the environment, both in Europe and beyond.

The Masters in Environmental Sustainability explores these and related questions. It encourages students to link knowledge from different disciplines to gain a holistic view of sustainability and how it can be achieved. The programme will equip you to work effectively in a wide range of roles in environmental consultancy, government, NGOs, or education.

The programme's unique modular structure enables you to tailor courses around your interests and provides you with the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of options from other departments within the College of Science and Engineering. Students also undertake detailed independent research which is supported by expert supervision. Many of the MSc research projects are published in academic professional journals.
