Course Summary

Overview

All sorts of industries such as offshore wind, mineral extraction and construction depend on Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA). Although many are struggling to find people with the right technical knowledge.

The master’s at Oxford Brookes is a gateway to many potential careers consulting, project managing, developing regulations, or championing sustainability.

Your future is a top priority for us. We designed the course alongside industry partners to make sure you’re equipped with the skills they’re looking for. You’ll work on projects and submit reports. You’ll collaborate with students on other courses to get a feel for how their disciplines work. And you’ll have opportunities to network, and develop your confidence in reaching out to employers.

You also have the option to join us part time through distance learning. You can study alongside work or other commitments, joining our live-streamed classes or catching up on the recordings.

Career prospects

Whether you’re looking to move into a new career or you’re using the course as CPD to gain new knowledge, you’ll develop plenty of practical, career-enhancing skills at Oxford Brookes. Previous students are working in companies like WSP, Ramboll, AECOM, ERM, RPS Group, and Savills.

Your new EIA talents will be useful in a range of areas such as:

  • environmental and management consultancy,
  • local government,
  • regulatory agencies,
  • statutory consultees,
  • environmental NGOs,
