MSC IN GLOBAL MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DUAL-CONTINENTAL UK-AUSTRALIA
MSC GLOBAL MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Today more than ever there is a strong demand for versatile managers in the globalised natural resource and commodities Industries. These industries rely on the close collaboration of scientists, engineers, financiers and investors. An integrated understanding of resource genesis, development, production and supply is no longer desirable; it is essential. This MSc programme will prepare the future leaders in the management of the natural resources value chain across the globe. The successful graduate from this programme will be well versed in all aspects of the energy and natural resources industries, will be an effective communicator, will have a strong background in earth science and engineering, will be aware of social responsibilities, will operate within international constraints and opportunities and will have strong managerial skills. The programme builds on existing strengths within UCL, London Campus (Earth Sciences, School of Management, and Chemical Engineering), on a large proposal on shale gas recently funded by the European Commission (http://shalexenvironment.org), and on the minerals processing and environmental remediation expertise within the Future Industries Institute at the University of South Australia, UniSA, in Adelaide, Australia. The programme is one of the first, if not the first, transcontinental teaching-research combination.
