The MSc programme is offered as a result of a unique partnership between the Crichton Carbon Centre, the Dumfries Campus and the Department of Economics at the University of Glasgow. The distinctive programme combines academic rigour with hands on practical experience. This enables our students to develop the conceptual, methodological and technical skills in Carbon Management that are necessary to pursue the career of their choice, be that in academic research, environmental consultancy, the energy sector, the public sector, or within non-governmental and charitable organisations.
Are you interested in climate change? Do you want the opportunity to address the greenhouse gas challenge? Maybe you are looking for a new career direction which will give you the chance to become a sustainability specialist who can communicate the messages that really matter. If this appeals to you, then take a look at the MSc in Carbon Management, which we deliver jointly with the University of Glasgow.
Other optional courses from the Departement of Economics are available.
You will also complete either a work placement project or a dissertation.
The work placement project (subject to availability) provides you with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in an organisation or company. In collaboration with the host organisation and the work placement project convener you will draw up a project that addresses certain intended learning outcomes and focus on acquiring skills and experience on some aspect of carbon management.
The dissertation provides you with the opportunity to gain valuable independent research experience. You will be allocated a supervisor based upon your topic of interest and a suitable area of research will be agreed upon, ensuring that the intended learning outcomes of the course are addressed. In the process, the foundations will be laid for potential further research at PhD level.
