30 Master's degrees offered by the university

Data Science for Ecology and Epidemiology
Become a specialist in the data science of the natural world. Master the advanced statistical and computational skills required to describe complex ecological processes, infer the hidden drivers of disease and biodiversity loss, and predict the impact of interventions to drive global change.

Population and Ecosystems Health
Population and ecosystem health is by its nature interdisciplinary. It requires a tight weave of ideas from ecology, epidemiology, and genetics applied across a variety of domains including terrestrial and aquatic ecology, veterinary epidemiology and evolutionary biology. Learn more with the Population and Ecosystems Health programme of the University of Glasgow.

Conservation Management of African Ecosystems
The Conservation Management of African Ecosystems programme at the University of Glasgow is a multidisciplinary programme aimed at students wishing to develop a career in conservation management in universities, government departments, parastatal conservation organisations, NGOs and other organisations.

Environment, Culture and Communication
This Environment, Culture and Communication programme from University of Glasgow explores the relationships we hold with our ‘wild’ environments, and how these evolved.

Sustainable Water Environments
The Sustainable Water Environments programme of the University of Glasgow will provide you with multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise in river catchment, lake and coastal environments, with a focus on the impact of and adaptation to changing environments.

Sustainable Tourism and Global Challenges
The Sustainable Tourism and Global Challenges programme of the University of Glasgow will give you a strong understanding of sustainable tourism. You will develop an awareness of the cultural and environmental issues influenced by tourism and be able to apply critical and practical solutions.

Environmental Research
The three main research themes in the Environmental Research programme of the University of Glasgow are Isotope Geosciences, Isotope Biochemistry & Radiometrics and Environmental Chemistry & Radiocarbon.

Computational Geoscience
The Masters in Computational Geoscience from University of Glasgow explores how we model the natural world and the environment around us (and the processes that create them).

Ecology and Environmental Monitoring (Dumfries Campus)
In the Ecology and Environmental Monitoring (Dumfries Campus) from University of Glasgow you'll develop vital skills in species identification, taxonomy and ecology to lead effective conservation, sustainable resource management and global biodiversity preservation efforts.

Land and Hydrographic Surveying with Work Placement
The Land and Hydrographic Surveying with Work Placement programme of the University of Glasgow will introduce you to the surveying discipline and prepare you for employment in the industry.

Environmental Sciences
The two main research themes in the Environmental Sciences programme of the University of Glasgow are Life & its Interactions with Dynamic Environments and Global Landscapes & Climate Change.

Earth Futures - Environments, Communities, Relationships
The Earth Futures - Environments, Communities, Relationships programme of the University of Glasgow is an interdisciplinary programme that bridges knowledge across the social and physical sciences. It aims to equip students with the expertise, experience and skills to tackle the environmental and societal challenges of sustainable development in the anthropocene.

Geospatial Geoscience and Modelling
This Masters in Geospatial Geoscience and Modelling from University of Glasgow programme is one of very few in the UK to focus on geospatial and data science modelling and is unique to Scotland.

Evolutionary Analysis
The Evolutionary Analysis programme of the University of Glasgow addresses a broad range of fundamental and applied evolutionary problems via the identification and analysis of genetic and phenotypic variability underlying biodiversity at all taxonomic levels, from viruses to vertebrates.

Human Geography - Spaces, Politics, Ecologies
The Human Geography - Spaces, Politics, Ecologies programme of the University of Glasgow engages at an advanced level with conceptual debates in human geography, with cutting edge methodological approaches and with the skills needed to communicate geographical ideas beyond the academy.

Environment and Sustainable Development
The multi-disciplinary Environment and Sustainable Development programme of the University of Glasgow is designed for those wanting to pursue a career in environmental project management. It will give you the tools to apply economic analysis to a range of environmental management problems with a focus on developing countries.

Geology
The aim of the Geology programme at the University of Glasgow is to advance fundamental, quantitative understanding of critical geological phenomena on Earth and across the Solar System to solve scientific, engineering, and societal challenges.

Ecology and Environmental Biology
The Ecology and Environmental Biology programme at the University of Glasgow provides specialised research training in preparation for a PhD programme or a career in ecological science.

Education for Sustainable Futures in Adult, Community and Youth Contexts
Join this Education for Sustainable Futures in Adult, Community and Youth Contexts programme from University of Glasgow.

Nuclear and Environmental Physics
The Nuclear and Environmental Physics programme of the University of Glasgow provides training in the physics and applications of nuclear energy generation (and low-carbon energy more generally), and the roles played by nuclear processes in environmental modelling and medical physics. It is an ideal qualification for a professional physicist aiming to work in these sectors.
