MSc Alumni: Where Are They Now?
Nearly 600 students have successfully graduated from the Oxford MSc ECM course since its creation in 1994. Many have gone on to successful careers related to the environment in some shape or form; be it in business, government, NGO or academic research.

- Read about our 2007 alumni who undertook internships after the MSc programme.
The variety and relevance of the career destinations of the alumni reflects the real-world measure of the MSc's quality. Many alumni are increasingly commanding influential positions in multinational corporations; in national, state and international government; in non-governmental organisations; and by continuing with further study.
At the 2009 UNFCCC Conference of Parties in Copenhagen (COP 15), over 40 ECI alumni attended an ECI dinner. The total number of alumni at the negotiations in professional capacities exceeded this and demonstrates that the MSc really makes a difference to both the people who take the course, and to managing environmental change.
