Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
The interface between planners, architects, engineers, and ecologists is rarely integrated or trans-disciplinary. Yet the need to develop capacity to assimilate natural capital in ways that provide long-term, sustainable benefits is paramount, and requires ecological literacy in areas of expertise traditionally lacking in these skills.
By using methods to sense, process, and inform new technologies, you will develop the expertise to improve biodiversity and ecosystem health using design tools and technologies for the built environment. By the end of the programme, you will have the project management skills, and theoretical and practical experience needed to implement ecologically and environmentally informed sustainable urban development solutions across society.
Who is this course for?
Our new cross-disciplinary postgraduate programme will welcome students interested in the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems in urban areas, sustainable urban design, ecosystem services, citizen science and big data analytics.
This programme will interest engineers and architects, as well as people coming from government and NGO backgrounds looking to work in projects involving the built environment.
A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, environmental science, civil engineering, urban design or architecture subject area, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants with an appropriate professional qualification and relevant work experience (e.g., engineering design, green infrastructure, local government) will be considered.

Upon completion of the programme, you will possess the project management skills, and theoretical and practical experience needed to implement cutting-edge technological, statistical and computational solutions to address ecological and environmental challenges within the urban built environment.
You will also leave with the necessary insight to plan and undertake independent research, and the ability to report its findings to a variety of audiences. Employment destinations may include engineering, architecture, local government, and UK government organisations such as the Defra and the Environment Agency, development and environmental consultancies; environmental charities; conservation charities.
