Careers:Environmental Impact Analysts

Description:

If you want to pursue a career that uses data to tackle water and environmental challenges, both locally and globally, this MSc will equip you with the fundamental scientific and data analysis skills to do so.

You will develop a solid, discipline-specific background in water and environmental science, with an emphasis on hydrology theory combined with practical skills in AI and modelling. We teach both academic and practical skills, so that you discover how you can contribute sustainable, data-driven, nature-based solutions to problems that range from flooding to environmental degradation, and from water scarcity to pollution of rivers.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

    You will typically need a strong lower second-class honours degree (55% or higher) or an international equivalent in an Engineering, Science, Computing, Maths, Geography, Environmental Management or Studies, Agriculture, Resource Conservation, Finance, Investment, or Economics subject.

     We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree.

     We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

     If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing:

     * evidence of relevant work experience (minimum of two years) such as: working as an Environmental or Civil Engineer, working for a public body in a water or environment-related job, active voluntary work for environmental charities, or any role where you may have developed relevant technical skills such as data analysis, GIS, Python or other industry relevant software

     * a relevant postgraduate qualification.

     See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
