Course Summary
The need for climate adaptation is a core part of addressing climate change impacts across all sectors. To effectively design and deliver balanced engineering solutions that supports climate adaptation for society, a multidisciplinary programme that can also provide graduates knowledge of climate and data science has been established.
As such, this MSc in Climate Adaptation Engineering will enhance the technical capacity of graduates through an engineering-lens, supplemented by important holistic skills to recognise the economic, environmental, and societal considerations in delivering effective climate adaptation solutions.

The Student
Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.
Realist
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
Career Progression
Graduates from the M.Sc. in Climate Adaptation Engineering will emerge with valuable skills to The join energy and utility companies, local authorities, engineering consultancies and construction bodies, to fill the existing skills gap exists for graduates with expertise in climate adaptation.
