Course Overview
Offered by SRUC Scotland's Rural College, the MSc Environmental Protection and Management provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in sport and exercise science.

This course teaches how to devise and implement strategies that protect and conserve environments facing a wide range of threats. It can be studied full time over one year, or part time over two years. Human activities have become an increasingly significant factor for the Earth’s biosphere system. Our use of natural resources, deforestation and soil erosion, the release of potentially toxic compounds and pathogens, and the increase in greenhouse gases are all examples of pressures that have potentially serious consequences for humanity and other life on Earth. International tuition fees are £40,800 per year, home/UK fees are £18,900 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission.
