About the course

On this MSc course, you’ll explore why and how we use environmental assessment, the consequences of good and bad practice, and what different stakeholders expect from it. You’ll investigate case studies to clearly illustrate how environmental assessment works to deliver more sustainable outcomes. These include (amongst others):

　　Planning a strategy for a new deep coal mine

　　Planning a stakeholder engagement strategy

　　Working out the likely impacts of a biomass power station

　　Conducting a phase 1 habitat survey

　　Carrying out a sustainability appraisal of a land use plan

　　You’ll learn to connect the environmental process with the operational stages of development by examining environmental management plans to ensure the findings are implemented. And you’ll experience the challenges associated with developing and applying practical skills by conducting fieldwork in all weathers, interviewing members of the public, presenting findings in front of your peers, and writing environmental management plans including allocating responsibilities and timings.
