MSc in Environmental Resilience and Sustainability

The MSc offers postgraduate students three different pathways to graduate. The first pathway contains an internship (professional practice) which is geared towards newer graduates seeking to apply their skills in a real-world setting, in line with programmes internationally. The second pathway contains a research paper (independent and desktop studies) which is geared towards working professionals seeking to enhance their professional skillset. The third pathway contains a research project which is geared towards postgraduate students who are interested in pursuing a research career with the major outcome of the pathway being the production of a detailed master’s level research project/thesis.
