Testimonials from students

'I recently quit my job and have started my own consultancy company in Dubai.  My MSc degree was very useful and helped me a lot in setting up this new company as British Degrees are very valuable in this region, specially from a reputed university like the University of Bath. I want to thank you for all your valuable support and encouragement which helped me complete the course successfully.' IEM MSc graduate

'I've been involved with your programme since 2002 having identified The Core Module as an appropriate route to gain professional membership of IEMA. Since that time in a number of Environmental positions ranging from Pharmaceutical to Construction I have relied on the IEM CPD programme to enhance my knowledge and have found the material to be applicable in real environments. In particular the Sustainable Development module provided a real boost and has shaped my knowledge of the sustainability challenges facing us today. I have found that the programme is flexible enough to allow time for work and other commitments and would recommend the programme to anyone undertaking an environmental career.'  IEM CPD student

'I've found the material very valuable and have already used some of the EIA module for a hydro feasibility study and CBA for planning a large scale PV installation.'  Current IEM MSc student

Programme structure

Students studying for the MSc take nine modules and attend two compulsory residential school sessions before moving on to their dissertation research project. The total time to complete the course is approximately 1500 hours of study and most students spread this over three years although faster and slower study plans are available with a maximum of five years to complete the MSc.

The table below gives the module topics in their normal order of study with details of the assessment arrangements and the relationship to the residential schools.
