Course summary
Course description
Pollution is transforming our environment, distorting habitats and wiping out biodiversity. It’s a major contributor to the escalating global climate crisis, and threatens our way of life, our wellbeing and our safety. As our environment evolves and human behaviour adapts, new challenges emerge, and we need a new generation of environmental scientists to tackle those challenges head on, and shift the trajectory of our planet.
Our online MSc in Pollution and Environmental Control will arm you with the multidisciplinary knowledge and wide-ranging practical skills to influence positive environmental change and help build a better future.

Whether you’re working in the environment sector, or want to move in that direction, if you’re passionate about creating a greener future and have a background in science, this course is for you.
