Course Description
The programme will focus on the human and physical processes shaping urban ecologies and environments. Four core modules will underpin the MSc Changing Cities and Understanding & Managing the Urban Environmental System. Both are based on lectures, seminars and fieldwork and will form the core theoretical components. Changing Cities evaluates the political and policy challenges in seeking to create sustainable cities and explores theories and ideas relating to sustainable urbanism. Urban Environmental Systems explores the knowledge for understanding urban environmental systems and developing sustainable environmental management strategies for cities. Methods for Environmental Research and Research Methods in Human Geography provide the core methodological environmental and social science components respectively. You can choose both methods modules or opt for the one that best suits your interests. Core modules will give a solid basis for developing and executing a piece of focused research presented in the form of a dissertation a compulsory element of the MSc. Two optional modules will be offered as part of the MSc so that course participants will have the opportunity to fine-tune their programme of learning in accordance with their interests. Examples of optional courses include Urban Regeneration; Sustainable Urbanisation; Techniques for Managing Environmental Change; Monitoring Environmental Change; Environmental GIS and Environmental Internship.
