which these changes will affect organisations.

Developed in conjunction with industry, the School of Engineering and Built Environment
at GCU offers a suite of programmes designed to provide the knowledge required for a
range of professional careers within the oil and gas industry.

The oil and gas industry instrumentation professional must be equipped to understand
the principles and implementation of instrumentation, the importance of efficient and

MSc Climate Justice
Study human rights, policy development and climate change with this masters in Climate
Justice

This is a practical study of climate justice and you will develop practical skills, approaches
and methodologies for addressing climate justice in future work. Graduates from this
programme move to a wide range of careers in organisations including development
organisations, UN and associated bodies, local government, academia and research
organisations.

Climate Justice is an increasingly important global topic and is expected to grow as climate
issues impact more people, requiring domestic and international policy making to focus

The programme provides a core range of areas to suit the professional development needs
of the modern climate and development professional. This will be achieved through
exposure to specialist climate justice topics together with a range of core modules which aim
to develop generic professional skills applicable to dealing with the complexity of climate
justice issues.

The aim of the masters is to provide in-depth understanding, analysis and knowledge about
the principles that underpin climate justice - human rights, development and climate
change.

The programme is tailored to provide a practical angle to climate justice to allow students to
graduate with a Masters which provides them with practical skills, approaches and
methodologies for addressing climate justice in their future work plans.
