MRes Environmental Geosciences at Newcastle University, UK

Dear all,

Please kindly pass the following information on to any interested students at your institution:

*MRes in Environmental Geosciences, Newcastle University UK*

The MRes is a one year, full time programme, which is strongly research focused. The programme spans all aspects of environmental geosciences, including: climate change; environmental monitoring and management; ecology; and water. It aims to develop the skills required for further academic study and/or research-focused industry jobs.

The programmes enables you to:

·       Lead an in-depth research project, supported by expert academics from across the environmental geosciences at Newcastle University.

·       Choose your own unique pathway, and develop your skills and interests within environmental geoscience.

·       Gain advanced research skills from our scientific skills module and our broad range of optional modules.

·       Prepare yourself for a research-focused job and/or further academic study.

Our recent masters-level students have secured fully-funded PhDs at leading UK universities and research-focused industry jobs, including environmental consultancy, government agencies (e.g. the Environment Agency), and in defence.

We will be holding an open day on Wednesday 6th February, where we will have a stall and provide an introductory talk for the programme. Staff and current students will be on hand to answer your questions. For further information on the open day, please visit (www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/meet-us/pg-open-day/).
