The Master of Science in Climate Change and Sustainability (MSc CCS), can also be obtained in a stackable manner requiring the completion of the Graduate Certificate, followed by completion of the Graduate Diploma and finally completing the requirements of the MSc, as outlined in the diagram below.

This approach provides you with the flexibility to build your MSc qualification in a staged manner.

Please refer to the relevant programme link on this website for details of the structure, admission and fees of each programme.

Ultimately, the MSc requires completion of 40 course Units (see above diagram).

Unique to the stackable approach we offer two pathways to completion of the MSc component.

Pathway 1. An entirely coursework pathway where candidates take one core course, and three additional elective courses.

Pathway 2. Includes a research component. In this pathway candidates take one core course, one elective course, and the research project (2 course equivalent).

Please refer to "Courses" tab on the MSc page for the detailed information on core and elective courses.
