If you are looking for a professional career, these new programmes at the Lancaster Environment Centre are designed for you.
Four-year MSci degrees provide a deeper understanding of the subject and an opportunity to undertake a significant research project. Schemes with Professional Experience (Environmental Science and Technology, Ecology and Conservation, Geography) also include an internship. Some of the MSci schemes are also available with a Study Abroad variant where you spend your second year in a partner university in the USA, Canada or Australasia.
