MSc Climate Change and Policy, University of Sussex

The University of Sussex, UK, would like to invite applications for the MSc in Climate Change and Policy for entry in 2010. This is unique course that aims to provide state-of-the-art training for the rapidly expanding market in climate change policy professionals within the public, private, consultancy and not-for-profit sectors.

The programme addresses what is perhaps the most important issue of our time from a multidisciplinary perspective.
