We look forward to welcoming prospective Master’s students and current offer holders to Silwood Park, Imperial College London’s ‘living laboratory’ for environmental science, and the home of the Living Planet MSc/MRes courses
You will participate in a guided tour of the campus (including experimental field sites), hear about the cutting-edge research of our faculty and staff, and have the opportunity to attend a Career Fair, which has been organised for our current Master’s student cohort. Silwood alumni from industry, academia, and the public sector will provide their perspective on how best to use a Silwood Master’s degree to achieve your career aspirations.
This is a great opportunity for networking, for meeting members of your potential cohort, and for learning about career opportunities in ecology, evolution, and environmental science.
Due to room capacity limits, we’re only able to accommodate one guest per applicant.
