About Msci Global Environmental Change And Sustainability in University of Birmingham

Understanding Global Environmental Change, how we address its causes, how we live with and respond to its impacts, and how we find sustainable solutions to our use of Earth’s resources, are some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today.

This programme aims to prepare a new generation of environmentally aware students for graduate employment in a range of industries positioned to tackle these global grand challenges. In a world that is increasingly affected by environmental change, it is of paramount importance that we are able to develop sustainable management of energy and natural resources, food security, biodiversity, ecology, and natural hazards. Tackling these themes requires a broad and interdisciplinary approach, based on a sound understanding of Earth and environmental processes, and of the intersection of human pressures and ecological systems.

Graduates from this programme will draw upon a solid scientific knowledge of Earth processes, augmented by an understanding of the broader perspectives needed to find sustainable solutions to some of the most important problems facing our world today. Many organisations will need the interdisciplinary skillsets and experiences of graduates of this programme. Graduates are likely to progress into employment in (renewable) energy, (sustainable) resources, environmental consultancy, as well as careers with national to local government, civil society organisations, NGOs, and in science communication and the media.  Graduates may also progress into specialist environmental and sustainability masters programmes in the UK and overseas.
