This course requires academic IELTS 6.0 overall, with no less than 5.5 in each skill.
The environment is currently being subjected to unprecedented anthropogenic change. As we enter the fourth Industrial revolution it is imperative that industries are equipped with professionals who consider, and are able to evaluate, the environmental consequences of new technologies and developments.
This Masters in Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Analysis is designed to provide chemists, biologists and environmental scientists with the skills required to measure natural and man-made chemicals in the environment. Alongside these analytical skills you’ll learn about the impact of pollutants in our atmosphere, water systems and wider ecosystems. And we’ll put this all in context by providing you with detailed knowledge of the policy and management systems that underpin environmental monitoring.

The programme is designed for graduates coming from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, and so the programme will start by providing a grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry, biology and ecosystems. This will be delivered by blended learning that integrates face-to-face contact, digital activities and group work to nurture a strong learning community and peer-support and peer-to-peer learning networks.
Contact time will utilise a range of formats that encourage active learning to include flipped lectures, problem-based learning, problem solving focused laboratory exercises, field work, seminars, resource-based learning all underpinned by directed reading.
Throughout the programme, you will also be asked to identify and critically evaluate information in order to make coherent evaluations and informed judgements.
Practical experience and skills are essential for any environmental scientist, so laboratory and field work is an important component of the programme. This element will scaffold your learning, building up to the independent research project/dissertation, which will involve all aspects from initial design, including appreciation of ethical and health and safety considerations, through to data gathering and analysis, plus reporting evaluation and reflection.
The laboratory/industry project placements will also include a variety of practical-based work within the confines of a regulatory or industry environment.
Modules are currently undergoing planning consent but teaching will cover:
Analysis and critical evaluation of information and arguments from across disciplines and from a range of different sources.
Practical skills necessary to successfully carry out analytical techniques specifically in the context of environmental monitoring, but also more broadly in other industries such as pharmaceuticals, biomedicine and formulation chemistry.
Transferable skills such as teamwork, communication, time management and independent thinking.
An appreciation of the applications of sciences across disciplines and so develop creative problem solvers.
Self management and development. Awareness of the knowledge gaps and development of mechanisms needed to plug the gaps and deal with one’s own limitations.
Understand the needs of the consumers of environmental data, including policy makers, and lay audiences. Communicate effectively with these groups.
Subject to validation. We're still finalising this programme, check back soon for module information.
Pre-Sessional English Language Programme
The university offers a range of courses for students who need to study English before starting a degree programmes.
We offer a year round course, University of Hull English Language Programme (UHELP) and shorter summer courses of 4, 8 or 10 weeks, which are full time courses. The programmes are also open to those who need to update their language skills to live in the UK.
Start June 2020 (UHELP) - closing date for applications 21 May 2020
Start July 2020 (Pre Sessional English) – closing date for applications 18 June 2020
Start August 2020 (Pre Sessional English) – closing date for applications 16 July 2020
After those dates applicants who do not need a Tier 4 visa may still be considered at the University's discretion if there is time to process your completed application before the start date. Please contact us for advice if you are not sure which is the right course for you.
Students who need a Tier 4 visa to study a pre-sessional course must have a Secure English Language Test (SELT) approved by the Home Office for entry to the course.
Applicants who will be coming newly to the University of Hull to study an undergraduate or postgraduate degree are welcome to apply for the summer English programme even if this is not a condition of degree entry.
This programme will provide you with training in analytical chemistry and environmental sciences allowing them to develop the core knowledge, competencies and behaviours to support the needs of commercial, government and charitable sectors as they consider the impact of their activities on the environment.
