Help build a better future
Our multidisciplinary online MSc in Pollution and Environmental Control aims to equip you with the quantitative and qualitative skills to manage pollution and develop sustainable solutions for the future.
This comprehensive programme combines fundamental training in pollution measurement, prediction, and environmental modelling with a focus on air and water movement and pollution. You'll use industry-standard models to examine real-world problems using GIS and environmental data from across the globe.
As an online student, you'll have the flexibility to access video lectures, instructor-led online labs, computer practicals, and virtual field trips at your convenience.
We require an Upper Second (2:1) Class Honours degree in a science subject (or the overseas equivalent).
If you do not have a 2:1, but have relevant work experience, you may be considered.
