Student Profile A little about our students

“The MSc in Environmental Leadership has prepared me to progress to a career involving the marine environment. I entered this course with a BSc in Applied Freshwater and Marine Biology; moving forward I wanted to further my BSc with a deeper level of knowledge and improved skillset for environmental work, particularly in marine conservation. This MSc provided me with an opportunity to participate in well-rounded modules and projects relevant to our changing natural world, addressing environmental concerns such as rising sea levels and pollution. Providing key skills in communication, problem-solving and management, this course is conducted by excellent lecturers and researchers respected for their expertise and providing their students with the education and guidance to progress in a vast range of careers in environmental sectors. Leadership and the methods of communicating how global crises are dealt with are both greatly tested in our world today. I have gained invaluable knowledge and experience that has provided me with clarity on how to address climate and environmental changes. I have learned about the value of nature and the importance of not just the results of research findings, but how to effectively and appropriately communicate those with individuals and communities in society, and with governments and international bodies; our changing world requires this inclusive collaboration from all nations for guidance on how to move toward lobal sustainability.

Moving forward from this course I feel confident and prepared for my future: to learn, live and lead in reshaping the way humanity lives and uses the marine world.”
