• Academic title
  Environmental Science Master in Science by Research
• Course description
  This course is aimed at students who wish to pursue a research degree in some aspect of environmental science. The course is suitable for students wishing to obtain a short introduction to research prior to directly entering a research environment in employment or as a research student at PhD level.
  
  Future prospects
  
  Successful students will find employment in research environments in both universities and industry. Also, there is a demand for students with Master's degrees in environmental subjects outside research. Currently, our taught Master's students are highly successful in finding employment and in some subject areas, the supply of suitable qualified postgraduate staff is not meeting demand.

  Additional support for international students
  
  Coventry University takes pride in the culture and richness that its international students bring to campus life.

A recent report ranked the University highly in terms of international student numbers, recognising our reputation as a leading international institution.
  
  To meet the needs of this rapidly growing community within the University's student population, our International Office is on hand to provide assistance on all relevant matters such as visas and immigration. It also serves as an information centre to help international visitors locate the many services and activities both on campus and further afield.
