This programme looks to raise your ability to understand and analyse complex interlinked environmental issues, in order to develop long-term solutions. You will develop advanced technical skills and build experience in applying them across a range of environmental areas ensuring that you are equipped with highly sought after skills needed for a successful career in the Environmental sector.The Pollution pathway acknowledges the global current needs for toxicologists and ecotoxicologists who can support the exposure and hazard evaluation of chemical substances. The pathway aims to provide students with an advanced, multi-disciplinary and current understanding of the effects of chemicals on human and environmental health and the consequent impact on chemical risk assessment and regulation.The pathway has been specifically designed to equip students with the skills to critically evaluate and understand chemical hazards, as well as making informed decisions in terms of potential health risks for both humans and wildlife.At Brunel, we have excellent links with many organisations through our research activities, so you can be assured of a high-quality placement at a relevant organisation. Opportunities for our master's students include placements at the Environment Agency and international placements at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).After completing the course, you'll be equipped with the skills to pursue a wide range of environmental careers. Our Alumni have gone on to hold positions in industry, government and academic sectors and this programme will give you the skills and experience needed to be successful in any one of these sectors.Career choices can include Environmental Consultants, Environmental Managers, Policy Managers, Environmental Impact Assessors, Chemical Risk Assessors, Environmental Protection Officers and many more.
The module aims to develop students’ understanding of the complexity and interdependencies of the most pressing environmental challenges.
Students will recognise the transdisciplinary nature of Environmental Management and develop fundamental understanding that focuses on the interconnection of different environmental spheres (e.g. water, air, soil) and societal factors (e.g. economy, policy, technology).
The module aims to develop students’ understanding of a broad range of tools and methods used across different disciplines within environmental management.
Students will gain practical experience in lab, field and desk-based approaches that are used in identifying, monitoring and managing environmental problems.
The module aims to develop students’ understanding of environmental pollution and the techniques for monitoring and assessing exposure and hazard. Students will gain practical experience in advanced laboratory and field-based techniques.
This module will familiarise students with the concepts and approaches that are currently used in human and ecological risk assessment of chemical substances. The emphasis will be on case studies, where data use and interpretation can be practiced in a “hands-on” way.
The module aims to further develop students’ understanding and technical skills in a specific area(s) relevant to the programme pathway they have selected (e.g. Pollution, Resources and Waste, Sustainable Water Resources). This module will consolidate taught content across the programme and students will gain experience investigating and producing an original piece of research.
The aim of this module is to provide the students with ‘real-world experience’ of applying the tools, methods and techniques learnt from the Environmental Management programme undertaking a 6-month period for professional development to support students in achieving career-orientated goals.
