Dear all,
MSc in Polar and Alpine Change, 2014-15
Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK
I write with information about this MSc course offered at our university, which may interest applicants looking for Masters courses in the broad area of Cryospheric / Climate / Environmental Science.
This MSc explores some of the most dramatic environmental and climatic changes on our planet --- those occurring in polar and alpine regions. Students learn about the processes and changes in these regions and gain skills in scientifically analysing and interpreting them. The course is 1 year long and taught by our glaciologists and climatologists. A core part of it is a summer fieldclass in an arctic or alpine destination (students on past trips visited Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic). Also, as part of the training, each student completes a supervised research dissertation over an eight-month period.
We invite applicants with a record of performing at UK Upper-Second Class level or above (or at an equivalent level overseas) at undergraduate level, including applicants with backgrounds in Physical Geography, Climate/Earth/Ocean/Environmental Science, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and Engineering.
Many of our graduates have been successful in moving on to PhD studies in glaciology, climate science, biogeochemistry and planetary science.
Our upcoming Open Days are 26th March 2014 and 1st May 2014. Further information about the course and the application procedure can be found at:

The application round for 2014/15 entry is open. Please contact me or write to geo-apply@sheffield.ac.uk for information.
Best wishes,
Felix Ng
