Course Overview

You will develop a wide range of skills, including biodiversity, survey techniques, environmental management and monitoring systems, geographical information systems and an understanding of relevant ecological principles, legislation and regulatory frameworks. What’s more, our extensive and exciting fieldwork programme will train you in a wide range of environmental survey and assessment techniques.

Teaching

Full-time students will spend over the academic year, between 12 to 16 hours per week in lectures, practical sessions and fieldwork. The variation in hours will depend on the options chosen.

Part-time students attend the equivalent of one day per week, generally completing the MSc in two years. However, based on individual circumstances, for part time students, the MSc Project may extended into your third year of study. This would need to be agreed as part of a discussion with the course leader.

We teach using a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions, problem solving tutorials, video presentations and practicals. You will also undertake fieldwork excursions within the UK and overseas (additional costs apply). The number of hours of formal teaching will vary depending on your module choice.

You will also be encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning by completing guided reading and various interactive computer packages. Please note some field trips will vary from a day to more than a week in duration while optional fieldwork can last for around two weeks.
