About the course

Concerns over the human impact on the environment have stimulated demand from governments and industry for the monitoring, analysis and modelling of natural processes in environmental systems. This MSc focuses on analysing and understanding past, present, and future dynamic environments. Through this programme, you will gain a variety of field, lab, data analysis and interpretation skills, providing you with the knowledge and skills for a career in environmental consultancy or management, or for further research in the environmental sciences.

Kathryn Hooley studied BSc Geography, followed by MSc Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction at Manchester. She graduated with her master’s in 2018 and is now a Graduate Consultant in Flood Risk and Hydrology at Arcadis, a global consultancy firm. “I was particularly drawn to the University because the geography course was really flexible, allowing me to pick the course units that I wanted to study. My courses developed my transferrable skills, like report writing or analytical skills, as well as technical knowledge, especially around rivers, catchment hydrology, flooding and climate change.”
