MSc Environmental Impact Assessment & Management / Careers

Environmental Management graduates are popular with employers, particularly in consultancy, where the ability to analyse and propose strategies and implement schemes is vital.

After London, Manchester hosts the largest number of environmental and planning consultancies in the UK.

Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in areas including environmental management and consultancy, energy and water, non-governmental organisations, urban planning and design, urban and regional development policy, central and local government, international development and research.

We encourage you to interact with potential employers during the course, particularly when undertaking the dissertation.

We also provide opportunities for students to engage with a range of potential employer organisations, providing targeted networking opportunities.

Top employers of our graduates include:

• AECOM;
• Arup;
• Atkins;

If you decide not to follow a vocational career, your wide knowledge base and transferable skills in problem-solving, strategic thinking, teamwork, creativity and communication fit what most employers are seeking.
