With our MSc Global Environmental Change, you'll develop the knowledge and skills to address some of the world's major challenges. Your study topics include climate change, environmental law and policy, meteorology and sustainability. This wide-ranging programme reflects the strength of unique expertise held within our prizewinning Natural Resources Institute (NRI).

The MSc in Climate Change at Maynooth University is offered to provide graduates with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to enable them to undertake analysis of both global and Irish-related climate change science, impacts and policies.

DCU’s MSc in Climate Change: Policy, Media & Society is Ireland’s only programme focused on the social sciences and humanities aspects of climate change. Gain expertise in media, policy, law, governance, and politics, equipping you with the skills to address today’s environmental challenges from diverse perspectives.

Our MSc in Climate Change Science and Policy provides you with a solid grounding in climate change science, alongside a critical understanding of the context for action on climate change. The programme is designed for students with a background in science (through their previous undergraduate and/or work experience), and includes hands-on quantitative training with climate models and climate data.

The Department of Geography is excited to announce the launch of its new graduate programme in Climate Change and Sustainability for the 2024-2025 academic year. Responding to the global challenge, the graduate programme in Climate Change and Sustainability will produce the next generation of environmental and industry leaders who have advanced knowledge of the complexities of climatic change and its impacts on society and are interdisciplinary and analytical in their approach to climate change and sustainability issues and solutions.

The MSc in Geographic Information and Climate Change gives cross-disciplinary training in the scientific basis of GIS, satellite remote sensing and earth system modelling, alongside aspects of climate change.

This program's general objective is to prepare middle managers with comprehensive and specific knowledge and practical skills, who, as specialists, are able to take responsibility and make strategic decisions to formulate and implement environmental management and environmental policy at the international level, considering the climate change and the European Green Deal.

Our MSc (or PGDip/PGCert) in Climate Change and Development provides you with the knowledge and solutions to simultaneously tackle the climate change crisis, meet Sustainable Development Goals and improve the lives of people all over the world. Designed for those working on, or hoping to work on, climate change and development issues, this program helps you develop the analytical skills needed to solve adaptation problems and identify low-carbon development options.

Our MSc in Climate Change Finance and Investment is dedicated to developing professionals in the field of low-carbon finance and investment. Designed around an interdisciplinary foundation of carbon accounting, climate policy and financial economics, the programme will develop your skills and knowledge to help drive the trillions of dollars of new investment needed to face the climate emergency.

This MSc programme will prepare graduates to make change happen, giving you the skills to keep pace with cutting edge research, understand the policy and governance frameworks for climate change and sustainable futures, and implement evidence-based mitigation and adaptation strategies.

This Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc is unique because it approaches the topic from both a science and policy perspective, which means you’ll learn more about applied physical science that's policy-relevant. It’s also the only MSc where you can choose to study climate change with a focus on science or policy - or you can opt for a more comprehensive understanding of both disciplines.

What are the social and political dimensions of climate change? What impact does climate change have at local, state and international levels? How do we understand the actions of communities and international organisations in response to a changing planet? This programme investigates the complex social and political impacts of a changing climate and examines the ways in which we can respond to crises.

Study the challenges of moving to a low-carbon economy and adapting to climate change, and how they influence global and regional development. This course is for non-specialists in the climate field. You’ll explore the interconnected dimensions of science and technology, and the economics, politics and policy of climate change.
