The Masters in Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (MScCCAFS) programme provides motivated students with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in climate change, agriculture, and food security.
The course is run with the Ryan Institute in partnership with national and international contributors, including the global network of One CGIAR agricultural research institutes.
Our classes are international and multidisciplinary. We accept students from any background who want to combine scientific, engineering, technical, social or policy skills. MScCCAFS students also complete a research project aimed towards a published outcome. Depending on circumstances, these projects may be completed within the University, of Galway, at students place of work, or through a research collaboration or placement.
Our graduates are equipped to address the deepening climate crisis and build mitigation, adaptation and resilience in the agriculture and food sector globally.The MScCCAFS won the Best New Postgraduate Award (HEA Awards, Ireland) for 2017 (more information here) and was shortlisted for the Best Science Award for 2019.
