PostgraduateCourse summary
Ready to take the next step in your environmental management career? This part-time distance learning program offers opportunities through two distinct pathways: MSc and MRes. You'll study online and support is only a video call away. As an MSc student, your journey involves completing taught modules during the first year and the first semester of the second year, ending with a six-month research dissertation. Or choose the MRes pathway to put the emphasis on research methodology modules, paving the way for a 12-month, 120-credit research project centred around workplace-related topics in your field. Our core modules will provide you with valuable skills in research methods, literature review, and research project design. MSc students will also delve into fundamental subjects such as environmental sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and ecological services. You’ll have the flexibility to select supplementary modules in areas such as disaster management, safety assessment, flood risk, and mental health at work, so your Masters can be all about your interests. You’ll be following in the footsteps of people from diverse organisations, including BAE Systems, the oil and gas industry, emergency services, NHS, and renewable energy.
Modules
All modules are subject to availability and this list may change at any time. Both the MSc and MRes start with core modules relating to techniques for undertaking research: Research Methods (NEBOSH Programmes) Literature Review Designing Research Projects MSc students then study two core modules of their programme and one optional taught module: Environmental Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility Ecological Services and Environmental Economics Optional modules are themed around: Disaster and Emergency Management Safety Case Production and Assessment Flood Risk Management Mental Health at Work
Assessment method
For MSc students the taught modules are taken in the first year and the first semester of the second year, using the University’s e-learning environment. You also supplement learning with your own background reading. Once these have been completed, the last six months of the course consist of the research dissertation. For MRes students, after completing the modules covering research methodology, the programme is followed by a 12 month 120 credit research project on a workplace-based topic in health, safety and/or environmental management. The online nature of the programme means access to a stable broadband internet connection is required for access to course materials, to communicate with University staff and undertake course assessments.
