If you’re interested in climate change and looking for a more intimate learning setting with small class sizes and hands-on learning, UPEI’s Applied Climate Change and Adaptation program is for you!

Studying climate change at UPEI has given me so much fieldwork experience. The course content is designed to let students apply their knowledge from lectures in a hands-on way. Whether it be partnering with the Smithsonian Institution to set up a biodiversity monitoring plot, installing weather monitoring stations across PEI, or flying drones to collect data and create maps, you’re sure to get out in the field.

Last summer, as part of UPEI’s WorkIntegrated Learning program, I worked for Parks Canada with some fellow third-year climate change students under the supervision of the only climate change specialist in the agency. We gained valuable work experience from projects like tree planting, speciesat-risk monitoring, invasive species management, and a plethora of climate change-centred projects.

I have also taken advantage of many different student supports available to me, and I continue to access support from UPEI students and faculty alike. With the student-led creation of UPEI’s Climate Change and Adaptation Society, I have access to a community of likeminded students to help with anything from homework to understanding a complex climate issue.
