Incorporating Keele's internationally recognised expertise in research and teaching on environmental issues, our accredited MSc aims to provide you with a broad understanding of environmental problems whilst embedding the appropriate specialist scientific, managerial and generic skills for a career in the environmental sustainability sector.

Course summary

The world is facing increasing environmental threats which are posing severe scientific, social and economic challenges to the human race. These challenges include: the depletion of natural resources, the loss of diversity and the need to develop new forms of energy generation whilst efficiently utilising existing energy sources. Tackling these environmental problems and establishing a sustainable environment requires the adoption of appropriate policies and managerial strategies.

The MSc in Environmental Sustainability and Green Technology is designed to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental challenges whilst giving the opportunity to specialise in several sustainability themes related to geosciences, energy generation, biological science, green information technology, environmental policy and politics, and project management.

Well help you develop the broad skillset needed to devise, implement and evaluate sustainability initiatives, or plan and conduct the research to develop the new solutions, processes and technologies to support them. You'll then put skills, such as critical evaluation, research design, scientific writing, project management, data collection, analysis and interpretation, presentation and more, into practice during your research project.
Your career

This course is designed to prepare you for a successful career in environment and sustainability, in research and development, teaching, management, regulation or consultancy, guiding activities such as energy or waste management, recycling, air quality, flood risk and other effects of climate change.

Previous graduates of this course have secured roles, for example, as an environmental sustainability specialist, sustainability and wellbeing consultant, project manager, innovation associate or assistant engineer.

They can be found working for employers all over the globe, from the London headquarters of one of the world's leading industrial groups (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), a Bogot谩-based publishers and Chinese R&D firm specialising in chemical fungicides.

The transferrable skills you gain in critical thinking, problem-solving, project management, communication, leadership and creativity will equip to find work across a wide range of professions, from business and management, to systems analysis, academia or scientific journalism. One graduate, for example, became an account executive for a medical communications company.

Since the course develops your research skills, it is an excellent route for those who wish to progress onto further study at PhD level, which a large number of our graduates choose to do.
