M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences

M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences

The School of Environmental Sciences was established in the year 1974. The academic programme of the School has been periodically reviewed, revised and updated, keeping in mind the need for sharper focussing, the available expertise at any given time, and the changes desired in curriculum of individual courses or specific programmes.

An M.Sc. programme was originally run in 1976 but it was discontinued for some time to allow for major revision. Subsequently, a revised M.Sc. programme in Environmental Sciences was introduced in 1987. Based on experience gained in running this revised package, a further revision was undertaken and starting from the academic year 1993-94, two streams in the M.Sc. programme were initiated, viz. one based on Physical sciences, and the other based on biological sciences
