MSc in Global Air Quality; Management and Science
News from the LAQN

The World Health Organisation estimated that air pollution was associated with 7 million premature deaths worldwide in 2012. This finding more than doubles the previous estimate and confirms that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk.

The MSc in Global Air Quality; Management and Science enables you to gain a detailed knowledge and understanding of the contemporary theory and practice of air quality and its management.

Research excellence coupled with strong links with business, policy makers and industry means that our students will receive training from leading experts. This will cover all aspects of air quality measurement, modelling and impacts on health, management and policy. Lecturers on the course will include leading air quality experts, health experts, advisers to WHO, UK Government and the European Commission.

A unique feature of this course is the coverage of all aspects of air quality from emissions, through measurement and modelling to exposure science and the impacts of air pollutants on health.
