Studying climate change around the world

Climate change is no longer a fringe science. In many parts of the world, universities are offering the subject in bachelors and masters programs - and many of those courses only started being offered a few years ago. The curricula combine various disciplines, from biology to sociology and physics, and have fast become an integral part of science and social science programs around the world, regardless of region or country.

Students looking to complete a Masters in Climate Change can head to Australia, for example, for a year-long program at the Australian National University (ANU), or they can seek a diploma in environmental disasters and climate change in Mexico. For those yearning for a more unfettered, up-close-and-personal experience, the University of the Arctic offers excursions to various glaciers as a standard part of its unique “Arctic Water Science and Climate Change” program.
