MSc Environmental Futures

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

This course is designed to train students from various academic backgrounds in contemporary critical debates and challenges shaping our environmental futures. Through its inter and multi-disciplinary approach, it will equip students with fresh perspectives and ways of seeing and responding to these challenges. Furthermore, it aims to produce graduates capable of undertaking insightful, ethical research on these issues, drawing on various tools and methods, and contributing professionally in relevant fields. This course will thus provide you with a range of subject-specific and transferable skills pertinent to careers in research, academia, the public sector, consultancy, NGO, and other applications. This course was created in response to this need. It brings together internationally recognized research groups and scholars from the School of Geography, Geology, and the Environment to provide a critical appreciation of these multiple, intersecting challenges and the nature and politics of potential solutions.

Through a range of core and optional modules, you will engage with the following:

  • contemporary human geography thinking around environmental challenges, knowledge, and futures

  • the emergent, interdisciplinary concept of the Anthropocene and its applications

  • modern and paleo-climatic and earth systems modeling

  • and the pernicious challenge of pollutants, e.g., plastics, in the environment.

You will have the opportunity to develop skills in GIS, Earth Observation and Remote Sensing, a range of creative geographical methods, and real-world application of these tools to manage diverse environmental challenges. In addition, you will gain high-level research design and implementation skills through an individual dissertation and a firm grounding in ethics and the development of equitable research partnerships.

Our teaching is research-led: it reflects the passion and commitment of staff across our interdisciplinary School. As a result, we aim to produce graduates who share our love for equitable, environmentally sustainable futures and have the skills and knowledge to help bring these about.
