MSc by Research in Environmental Economics and Environmental Management

University of York

The Department of Environment and Geography also offers an MSc by Research degree, where students follow an approved programme of research supervised by a member of academic staff. The thesis is assessed solely on the basis of that research by two individually appointed examiners. An MSc by Research normally takes 1 year to complete.

The MPhil and PhD programmes in Environmental Economics and Environmental Management offer interdisciplinary research across economic and ecological sciences, concentrated in the following key areas:

• Economics of the environment
• Ecology and environmental management, with emphasis on marine systems, tropical and temperate forest systems, and agro-ecosystems
• The nature and impacts of environmental pollution
• Sustainable use of terrestrial, marine and freshwater resources
• Economic growth and environmental health outcomes
• Environmental health, migration and socio-economic change
