opportunity for individual, original
and specialised in-depth work on
some aspects of environmental
change and management.
Students
The mixture of nationalities, age
and backgrounds of the students
on the MSc is undoubtedly what
makes it so successful, and reflects
the interdisciplinary nature of
the course. To date we have seen
students from 56 countries enrolled.
Student backgrounds are equally
diverse. While environmental

been students on the course from a

Alumni
At the 2006 UN Climate Change
Summit there were 13 ECI alumni
in professional capacities. This
demonstrates that the MSc really
makes a difference to both the
people who take the course and to
managing environmental change.
The variety and relevance of the
career destinations of the students
reflects the real-world measure of
the MSc’s quality. Many alumni
are increasingly commanding
influential positions in multinational
corporations; in national, state and
international government; in nongovernmental
organisations; and by
continuing with further study.
