ABOUT THE PROGRAM: M.Sc. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

The two years M.Sc. course in Environmental Sciences is an interdisciplinary program
with an emphasis on emerging areas of environment such as water, air, soil pollution and control,
climate change, resource conservation, waste management and environmental impact assessment.
The program is designed in such a way that the students get in-depth knowledge of scientific,
technical, economic, legal as well as social aspects of environment. The subjects offered are
innovative with major thrust being on research areas pertaining to environmental pollution control
and treatment technologies. The course will not only equip the students with knowledge and
expertise in the area of Environmental Sciences but will also create avenue for research and job
opportunities in future.
The purpose of a Learning Outcome-based curriculum Framework is to change the paradigm of
higher education from a teacher-centric to learner-centric curriculum. Environmental Science has
been developed as a discipline of interdisciplinary nature; therefore, explicit learning outcomes
against the course would provide a direction to the students and teachers to focus effectively on
the subject. It is hoped that this paradigmatic change will bring about a significant improvement
in the quality of higher education and make the learners both competent and confident to face the
challenges of a modern competitive world. The philosophy of this new curriculum framework is
to realize that it is not sufficient for institutions of higher learning to produce good humans and
responsible citizens of the country but also to produce employed graduates and postgraduates.
