Dwindling natural resources and environmental quality issues are challenging businesses to work within a sustainability framework, while at the same time maximising employment provision and profitability. Consequently, there is a growing number of green technology and related enterprises that require a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Equally, those within the regulation or policy environment must have the knowledge base to address the complexities of the ‘sustainability’ challenge.
- Eight schools contribute to the course capturing the significant strengths of UCD Science and Engineering in renewable energy resources, sustainable energy systems, environmental engineering and resource management, water quality assessment, protection/management and conservation science.
- The opportunity exists to harness these strengths within a negotiated and distance learning framework, offering you, the student, flexibility to gain a broad understanding of sustainability issues or to specialise more deeply in one of these particular fields of study.
Course Highlights:
- The MSc will provide you with the theoretical background, practical training and ancillary workplace skills needed for a successful career in your chosen field.
- The course focuses on delivery of the knowledge and skills required to address sustainability challenges across a broad spectrum of activities such as agriculture, industry, green technology and resource management.

I found the course refreshing in terms of content, delivery and the online virtual classroom discussions which allowed people on the course to communicate and share ideas. Working professionally full time, and with a young family, I found the online format superb as well as the flexibility that this allowed me.
