The postgraduate courses in Global Decarbonisation and Climate Change (GDCC) are a university-wide transdisciplinary initiative and explore key climate emergency issues. You will investigate the causes and consequences of climate change as well as explore emerging solutions to reducing levels of global carbonisation.
The Policy pathway provides a critical appreciation of tackling climate change in context, through knowledge of environmental and climate policy, analysis of tactics by governments, and the effect of policymaking and legislation upon scientific approaches. Beside the core modules you will choose a minimum of 2 core-optional modules, to explore topics such as climate justice and the transition to a sustainable world, climate change and development, and circular (eco) design and life cycle management. In addition, this pathway offers you the opportunity to select wider optional modules.
