PGCert in Global Decarbonisation and Climate Change (Science)

The postgraduate courses in Global Decarbonisation and Climate Change(GDCC) are a university-wide transdisciplinary initiative and explore key climate emergency issues. You will investigate the causes and consequences of climate change as well as the emerging solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from human activity.

The Science pathway focuses on the physical science aspects of reducing global carbonisation and tackling climate change. It is suited for people with a scientific background who wish to develop themselves further through the GDCC program keeping a scientific focus but, at the same time, wish to broaden their horizons and skillset with non-STEM modules.

Core modules offer a thorough understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and some of the nature-based solutions that may alleviate impacts. Beside the core modules you will choose a minimum of 2 core-optional modules, to explore topics such as sustainable energy systems, food system and plastics. In addition, this pathway offers you the opportunity to select wider optional modules.
