MRM Course Pathways

REM does annual intake and has a prescribed schedule of courses. Students are expected to cover the core material in their first year so that they begin their research with an understanding of the fundamentals of the three pillars of REM: ecology, environmental economics, and public policy.

These are the recommended course pathways for REM Masters students. Supervisors may request students to take courses out of order if needed to accommodate teaching schedules:
