The MSc Climate Change and Environmental Policy program at the University of Leeds offers a comprehensive curriculum that integrates the physical, social, and policy dimensions of climate change, alongside broader environmental policy and governance. Delivered by the School of Earth and Environment, the program is structured across three semesters for full-time study.
