This interdisciplinary MSc offers a scientific and analytical understanding of the Earth system. It combines observational climate science with advanced environmental modelling, equipping students to analyse and interpret the impacts of climate change across physical and human systems. A key strength of this course lies in its integration of climate science with broader dimensions of anthropogenic environmental change, and its critical exploration of how climate knowledge interacts with social and policy responses.
By bridging physical science and applied policy, this course enables you to develop the depth and range of understanding needed to address climate change in both scientific and societal contexts
This course is ideal for graduates from geography, environmental science, or related scientific disciplines who are keen to understand climate systems, data modelling, and the challenges of climate change. It will particularly appeal to those seeking careers in climate research, policy, or environmental consultancy. Applicants from across the sciences are encouraged, as are social science graduates who can demonstrate some quantitative skills.
This course will equip you with advanced analytical, scientific and policy-relevant skills essential for addressing climate-related challenges across a range of professional contexts.
You will develop a strong foundation in climate science, quantitative methods and evidence-based decision-making, alongside key transferable skills, including:
These graduate attributes will prepare you to analyse complex environmental challenges, communicate evidence effectively to diverse audiences, and contribute to the development of informed climate policy, research and practice.
Graduates from the Climate Change MSc course go on to work in a wide range of sectors, including policy, consultancy, science communication, and environmental management. Recent alumni have secured roles in UK government departments, international environmental consultancies, and research institutions. Others have pursued further academic study, including PhDs, contributing to research in climate science, adaptation, and sustainability.
89% of our graduates were in work or further study within 15 months of graduating. Graduates are employed across the UK and internationally, in roles such as environment professionals, research analysts, sustainability consultants, and policy advisors. The course provides a strong foundation for both professional careers and further research in this fast-evolving field. (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2018-2024)
