Ms in Climate Change and Environmental Policy

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. The initial two semesters focus on lectures, seminars, and assessed coursework, building a strong foundation in both physical and social sciences relevant to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and examining human-environment interaction governance. Students will also learn appropriate research methods and explore strategies to achieve climate change goals across various sectors, applying this knowledge to economic areas such as energy, agriculture, and water. The third semester is dedicated to a self-directed research dissertation project, allowing students to delve into a topic of their choice under academic supervision.
