Global Climate Change (L7030)

15 credits, Level 5

Autumn teaching

On this module, you’ll explore climate change from an interdisciplinary perspective. You’ll combine climate science with political, psychological and innovative aspects, examining:

• evidence of climate change, including natural and human influences
• climate impacts
• how future scenarios are simulated based on what we do
• film studies on climate change to develop a critical approach
• the truth of claims made in these film studies.

You’ll be introduced to tools for analysing climate data, including the online KNMI platform.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
