Course: MSc Environmental Bioscience in a Changing Climate

Human society harnesses a multitude of natural resources for the provision of food, materials, energy and recreation. Many of these resources are being overexploited with resulting impacts on global climate, environmental quality and agricultural production and biodiversity.

You will consider how environment and climate change impacts on natural and managed ecosystems and the resulting capability of these ecosystems to provide food, energy, biodiversity and ecosystem services. You will examine legislation and the problems facing environmental management and consider how biological systems can adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change in a low carbon economy. The course will train you for careers in environmental bioscience research and enhance the prospects of those looking to work in government and non-government organisations concerned with environmental management, rural development and climate change policy.
