Programme Overview

The M.Sc. Environment Science program at BVIEER is a future-focused program designed to equip students with the knowledge and technical skills needed for leading in a world transitioning to a net zero and green economy. With a transdisciplinary curriculum, it integrates environmental science, technology, and policy, covering key areas. A unique feature of the program is its certifications in ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems), enabling graduates to directly enter the fast-growing environmental auditing industry. The program emphasizes practical learning through fieldwork, laboratory training, and industry collaborations, ensuring students are prepared for careers in sustainability, corporate governance, environmental consulting, and research.

The MSc. in Environmental Science course has a transdisciplinary approach that integrates the science of environmental studies with technical and social issues and includes courses on ecosystem studies, biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, geoinformatics, water and waste water engineering, green technology, environmental lab techniques, sustainable development, urban sustainability and environment and health. The masters in environmental science builds on a candidate’s knowledge of chemistry, biology, statistics, computers, engineering, sociology and economics to develop a deeper understanding of applications in the environmental sector. It includes the cognitive aspects and technological skills necessary to further sustainable form of development and rational resource-use management. It trains the candidate in advanced laboratory skills required for pollution monitoring and abatement, to undertake environmental impact assessment(EIA), ecodevelopment, ecorestoration, implement green technology, assess biodiversity, etc. The program addresses environment management from the technical, social as well as the policy aspect to counter the effects of degradation of the ecosystem.

Programme Outcomes
