Overview
If you are weighing up Environmental Management MSc, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Environmental Management combines field work with laboratory analysis and policy modules. We currently work with 8 universities on this course across 8 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.500 to £25.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
