MSc/PGDip Natural Resources
Our MSc Natural Resources programme routes have been renamed. Students will now be able to apply for the awards: MSc Sustainable Environmental Management, (formerly MSc Natural Resources: Sustainable Environmental Management) and MSc Agriculture for Sustainable Development, (formerly MSc Natural Resources: Sustainable Agriculture). It is felt that these new titles more accurately describe the focus and content of the programmes as they evolve. The new titles will be effective for new students registering from September 2012, and will not affect students already enrolled. More details of their content will appear here in due course.
Our natural resources are the interacting components of the environment which are essential for life on this planet, for example natural and man-made ecosystems, weather and climate. The MSc in Natural Resources explores the ways in which the developmental needs of people can be met through a better understanding and improved management of renewable natural resources, without placing unsustainable demands on the environment. Much of the MSc involves looking at tropical applications, NRI's principal area of expertise, although on successful completion of the course students will be able to apply their new skills and knowledge to natural resource investigations environmental problems world-wide.
