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. You will: Explore the global transition to net zero from more renewable energy technologies to life-cycle (eco)design, sustainable food systems, investment in nature-based solutions and sustainable infrastructure. We cover the challenges of moving to a low-carbon economy whilst adapting to a warming planet and will lead you through the implications of climate change and climate policies for equity between, and within, countries. Gain specialist knowledge of the earth system and climate impact whilst working together in small groups to propose innovative solutions for real-life problems. Recognise social and ethical responsibilities as you learn to mobilise your knowledge across disciplines and work effectively in interdisciplinary teams. Gain valuable insights into the demands and duties of the working world, bringing your leadership and management skills to life. Develop a wide range of talents including creative, critical, and strategic thinking, effective communication, professional engagement, teamwork, problem solving and research analysis through diverse learning approaches and perspectives.
