Course content

Escalating rates of environmental and climate change are forcing us to re-evaluate our management of agricultural and natural habitats. The competing demands on agricultural land for food production and for bioenergy provision must be reconciled with environmental stewardship and mitigation of climate change.

This master’s course provides a timely and integrated perspective on environmental bioscience, management, societal matters and regulation as these relate to issues such as sustainable production of food and provision of ecosystem services.

Skills from this degree

You will gain:

• The ability to evaluate the impacts of climate change locally and globally
• The ability to understand and evaluate the factors contributing to soil, air and water quality and recognise their roles in food production and society values
• Understanding of the roles different land management practices have on local, regional and global ecosystems
• Transferable skills including team working, communicating with peers and sector specialists, organising, planning and oral presentation
• Research skills including scientific report writing, evaluation of environmental accounts, problem solving, data analysis and project work
