Earth surface processes and natural hazards pose significant challenges to society, development and construction. The expansion of global population and urbanisation, coupled with the potential impacts of climate change on natural processes, are anticipated to result in more frequent natural disasters and risk to development. Applied geomorphology is used to evaluate the opportunities for sustainable development and engineering through cost-effective mitigation of natural hazards and risk. Our MSc in Applied Geomorphology is a unique course for graduates and professionals integrating academic and commercial training with case work. It provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills for work in industry. Specific modules are available as Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training for those already practising in industry. The course structure and content is based on real-world case work and is taught by leading practitioners and academic experts in the discipline. A significant proportion of the course is taught in the field.
