You will typically require an upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in one of the following: - Biology - Chemistry - Earth Sciences - Environmental Sciences - Engineering - Geography - Mathematics - Physics Applicants must be able to demonstrate academic experience in Programming, Modelling or Applied Data Analysis. All other degree subjects may be considered if applicants can demonstrate academic experience in the above modules. Alternatively, two years paid work experience in a relevant sector such as Non-Governmental organisations, the environmental sector or work involving quantitative research may be considered to demonstrate sufficient academic experience; these will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Evidence of quantitative background could be: - Computer or Data Science - Remote Sensing - GIS - Instrumental Analysis - Spatial Modelling - Environmental Monitoring - Statistics/Biostatistics - R or Python - Water Analysis - Environmental Impact Analysis - Analytical Chemistry - Computer Applications in Environmental Management. Modules from acceptable degree subjects with "quantitative" in the name can be considered as evidence of appropriate background. If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. 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. Specific module requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications: - evidence of relevant work experience in think tanks, public sector research agencies or social/political research institutes. Minimum one year. - a relevant postgraduate qualification from the accepted subjects listed above. Specific module requirements would still apply. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
