- The MSc in Environmental Resource Management from the?University College Dublin?is designed for those who wish to undertake advanced studies in the pursuit?of a career in the environmental sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on exploring globally important environmental issues, including climate change, and the sustainable management of soil, plant and water resources in agriculture and other land use systems.?
- The programme fosters in its graduates the qualities of self-motivation and critical thinking. For those with an inquiring mind, a deeper understanding of scientific principles relevant in solving agri-environmental and food security concerns is provided, which in combination with understanding of effective policy-making, leads to sustainable management practice.?
- The programme structure is supportive of guided self-learning and provides the opportunity to develop key skills across the agri-environmental sciences. Core elements of the programme include: literature review and knowledge assimilation; core lab, field and IT skills (including use of GIS and remote sensing software); experimental/survey design and quantitative data analysis; and written and verbal communication skills. Use is made of individual and group work assignments designed to develop individual, teamwork and leadership skills. These skills will culminate and be tested further in the final semester, when the student does an independent supervised project.?
Careers & Employability:
- The career prospects for graduates from this programme are wide ranging. Graduates have a very good employment record, with many graduates gaining employment in areas related to their primary degree qualification ? albeit at the environmental interface of that discipline. Graduates? roles frequently involve consultancy or advisory work, although some have gained employment with industry, regulatory agencies and local authorities, in education or in academic research. This programme has also allowed some graduates to completely change direction ? putting them on a radically different career path (classic examples include moving from economics to an ecology PhD; from IT engineering to agri-environmental management and PhD).
