Environmental Economics
Climate Policy
Energy Transitions

You also have the opportunity to choose specialist option modules from a broad, interdisciplinary range.
Students also undertake an integrated group project (Professional Tools for Sustainable Development) to provide practice-based insights into environmental policy-making. Finally, you will have the opportunity to further enhance your specialist interests during the completion of a thesis in the third semester.
The MSc in Environmental Policy is designed to provide you with key knowledge, skills and professional tools to work in environment-related careers. These employment areas include:
