UK-based University of Northampton has tied up with Madras University to offer a Master’s degree in International Environment Management. R. Thandavam, Vice-Chancellor, Madras University, said the one-year M.Sc course has been loosely structured to allow those in employment obtain a UK degree while working. The fee is Rs 1.5 lakh. Graduates would find favour with employers such as environmental consultancies and Government agencies managing conservation projects. The course will allow students access to online courseware put up by the University of Northampton; contact classes at the Madras University campus will include lectures by faculty from the UK University, but most lessons from the foreign university will be streamed online. The curriculum includes environment management policy and control in India, waste management in India, environment psychology, and pollution control. — Our Bureau
