Overview

The M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences and Sustainability is a 30-credit hour program that is offered both full and part time within the Biology Department. Students are required to complete 24 credit hours of coursework in addition to 6 credit hours assigned to research and a completion of a M.Sc. thesis. The coursework includes 2 credit hours of College of Science requirements (Ethics, and Research Methods), 9 credit hours of core environmental sciences courses and 13 credit hours as elective courses. These electives will allow the student to specialize in any specific topic relating to environmental sciences. Student progress is overseen by a research supervisor (and co-supervisors when needed) and a thesis defense committee. The program is a fee-based program open for all students who meet the UAEU minimum entry requirements.
