Postgraduate taught degrees
Our interdisciplinary MSc degrees span a wide range of natural and social sciences, and the humanities, providing you with unique opportunities to explore and tackle global challenges.
Our world is facing many significant and complex challenges. Rising inequality and the mass displacement of people, urbanisation, unprecedented rates of climate and environmental change and associated extreme events, and finite natural resources all pose formidable challenges for the future.

Through our world-leading research, teaching, innovation and impact, we strive to solve real-world problems of local, national and international relevance. You will be uniquely placed to address local and global issues relating to inequality and vulnerability; urban precarity; nature; cultural meanings; development and sustainability; climate and environmental change; natural resources; and natural hazards, risk and resilience.
