This Postgraduate Diploma/MSc programme provides advanced training across the range of subjects involved in contemporary coastal zone management and an understanding of the relevant science and the human activities that affect the coast as a basis for development of management approaches.

It is aimed at physical sciences and life sciences graduates, and also those who have demonstrable past or current coastal management responsibilities.

Case studies from around the world are used to provide examples of coastal management issues and responses at local to international level and in both coastal land areas and coastal waters.

It draws upon the latest innovations and developments and, in particular, practical coastal zone management projects and research being undertaken by the Centre for Coastal and Marine Research of the School of Environmental Sciences.

The specific objectives of the course are to develop:

- an understanding of how coasts "work"

- an appreciation of the role of humans in coastal systems

- a familiarity with past and current practice and ongoing developments in coastal zone management

This MSc is designed to receive graduates from a range of backgrounds (engineering, business, architecture, environmental and social sciences) and draw them into an understanding of the full breadth of human sustainability with energy as the core theme.

Energy systems have much wider implications than just how far we can drive or whether the lights stay on; energy is a fundamental component of our water and food resources too. This course allows you to reinforce your knowledge and understanding of sustainability within your own field of expertise, before inviting you to leave your comfort zone and engage with aspects which will be new to you.

For example, engineers may want to examine behavioural issues, environmentalists perhaps need to understand business drivers and architects need to assess how residents may interact with their structures. The course is designed in such a way that you can select modules of interest for CPD purposes, or accumulate towards an exit award, e.g. PgCert, PgDip or MSc.

You will be able to select from a broad range of modules including: Corporate social responsibility, risk, urban environment, social regeneration, economic contexts, energy security & conflict, strategy, renewable energy (issues, technologies & resources), building design & improvement, life-cycle analysis, energy systems, food, water, travel transport, environmental impact and CO2 management.

Robert Gordon University has long-established strengths in the areas of engineering, business, social sciences and architecture, with a substantial collective staff experience in sustainable practices, corporate social responsibility and other related fields.

The University is a major provider of personalised Open and Distance Learning education to thousands of professionals around the world. This course builds on the recognised strengths of established courses across the School of Engineering, Aberdeen Business School, Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and the Built Environment and the School of Applied Social Studies, all of whom are committed to high quality postgraduate development.

Entry Requirements

This course is suitable for those who hold an honours degree, or equivalent, in an appropriate discipline at 2:2 or above. However, we treat each applicant individually – if you have appropriate experience and the academic potential then we will interview you for a place.
