MSc Environmental Bioscience in a Changing Climate

Course Description

Escalating rates of environmental and climate change are forcing us to re-evaluate our management of agricultural and natural habitats.

This master’s course provides a timely and integrated perspective on environmental bioscience, management, societal matters and regulation as these relate to issues such as sustainable production of food and provision of ecosystem services.
