There are three M.Sc. Degree and Diploma streams in the NRM:
The M.Sc. degree consists of a common core of six courses, plus specific specialization courses for each stream, and a major Research Project.
The M.Sc. NRM-IUREM commenced in September 1998. It is coordinated by the Centre for Environmental Management and was initially supported by funds from the European Union. The primary objective of the programme is to contribute to an integrated approach in the Caribbean region by training professionals in environmental and natural resource management.
The M.Sc. NRM-DRM commenced in September 2009. The focus of this programme is on the training of disaster management personnel from different disciplines, and the development of policy to address regional disaster management.
The M.Sc. NRM-MaTE is the result of a 2008 merger of the Aquatic Sciences and Tropical Ecosystem Assessment and Management M.Sc. programmes, and is coordinated in conjunction with the Department of Life Sciences. The programme investigates selected aspects of the biodiversity associated with Jamaican aquatic and terrestrial environments, with a greater emphasis on their management, conservation and sustainable use.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
The UWI, Mona ranks first in Jamaica among accredited tertiary-level programmes. In 2012, the University was again one of Jamaica’s Top 100 Employers.
