Course Description

Given that human activities significantly influence the natural environment, the MSc in Environmental Resource Management will provide students with an in-depth understanding of what the implications of such activities on the environment are and what mitigation measures are needed in order to reduce such influences. Like any long-term strategy, understanding and safeguarding the environment requires a holistic perspective; since safeguarding one aspect today might have ripple effects on other factors eventually.

The programme is characterised by several modules that will allow students to develop technical solutions needed to solve attenuate or control environmental issues. Specialised modules include Renewable Energy and Green Technologies, which aims to examine the technical, economic, and political aspects of renewable energy, as well as evaluate the successes and failures of implementing alternative energies at the local, national, and regional levels. The Food-Energy-Water Nexus unit will provide students with a thorough understanding of the complex and dynamic interrelationships between water, energy and food. Essentially, this will enable the use and management of such resources sustainably. Ecotoxicology aims to assess the effects of different classes of pollutants on individual organisms and on species in food webs, enabling students to predict the negative implications on entire populations, ecosystems and on human food resources.

Overall Learning Outcomes of Programme

1. Demonstrate a strong background in natural resource management, environmental quality, and analysis.
2. Be familiar with computational tools for spatial analysis together with data management, statistics and modelling which have become essential tools in the environmental field.
3. Identify how research methods can help practitioners innovate and inform policy decisions.
4. Demonstrate advanced and integrated knowledge and understanding of the theoretical background that govern environmental, energy and sustainability issues.
5. Identify how interactions between organisms and their environments drive the dynamics at different biological levels and how human activities can influence such interactions.
6. Assess the sustainability of policies, programmes and projects at scales ranging from the local to the global scenario that are relevant to the implementation and management of green and sustainable practices.
