What it is

The three years combine environmental science with data skills: the first year covers algorithm development, GIS, physical geography and applied mathematics, and the second adds geodatabases, machine learning and remote sensing, with programming in R and Python, big data analysis and hydrology across the course. Teaching leans on laboratory work, fieldwork and practical projects with advanced software and online tutorials, and the thesis is developed in years two and three. Graduates work in environmental consulting, government agencies, NGOs, research institutions and technology companies building environmental solutions.
