About the course

This innovative MSc aligns expertise from Geography with that from Landscape and Environmental Planning, being the first of its kind to bring together the theory, practice and evaluation of Green Infrastructure. Being taught by nationally and internationally recognised experts in Green Infrastructure, this course provides the foundations to understand why we need Green Infrastructure, alongside an understanding of how we transition from design to implementation. What's more, Manchester, and the North West of England, offers an excellent real-world 'laboratory' to test alternative approaches to Green Infrastructure, making the University the perfect place to study this master's.

“It has been great to meet like-minded people on the course. I particularly enjoyed doing a spatial ecology module, which involved learning to code using R which was a skill that was completely new to me.”
