Applied Carbon Management (Dumfries campus)

Testimonials

I think Dumfries Campus is the best place to study this subject because the teachers are excellent and Dumfries gives a very natural setting where we can study climate change in a much better way. One of my favourite projects was the Riverside Project in the Sustainable Buildings course. We worked as a group to design an outline for a sustainable urban community. It was interesting because it was very practical and we had to give advice on this project in the role of professional consultants. Dumfries is also a beautiful town. It has everything you need as a student, in stunning setting and sometimes at a much lower cost than other cities.
मैं एमएससी एप्लाइड कार्बन प्रबंधन का अध्ययन कर रहा हूँ. मुझे लगता है कि डमफ़्रीस  कैम्पस इस विषय का अध्ययन करने के लिए सबसे अच्छा है क्योंकि शिक्षकों को उत्कृष्ट रहे हैं और डमफ़्रीस देता है एक बहुत ही प्राकृतिक सेटिंग जहाँ हम एक बेहतर तरीका में जलवायु परिवर्तन का अध्ययन कर सकते हैं . एक मेरी पसंदीदा परियोजनाओं के स्थाई भवन पाठ्यक्रम में रिवरसाइड परियोजना गया था. हम एक समूह के रूप में एक स्थायी शहरी समुदाय के लिए एक रूपरेखा डिजाइन में काम किया. यह दिलचस्प था क्योंकि यह बहुत ही व्यावहारिक था और हम पेशेवर सलाहकार की भूमिका में इस परियोजना पर सलाह देने था. डमफ़्रीस एक सुंदर शहर है. यह आश्चर्यजनक सेटिंग है.

The Applied Carbon Management MSc is a great mix of theory and practice, preparing students for their future in the workplace. It is a wonderful opportunity to study in an area that is at the cutting edge, with this being the first course of its kind in the UK.
