Global engagement in the College of Science is led by Professor Eleni Mangina. Throughout the 2022/23 academic year, the College Global Engagement Group commenced implementation of their strategy, alongside formulating the first regional strategies for China and Africa. The College participated enthusiastically in recruitment fairs in India and North America and conducted a lecture series in high schools across multiple countries. Travel to the Asia-Pacific region, the UAE, India, North America, and South Africa to enhance collaborations was also a central aspect of the global engagement activities, helping grow the international reputation of the College through the establishment of several new partnership agreements.

### Joint Degree
**College of Science Partner**
The [MSc Global Change: Ecosystem Science & Policy](https://hub.ucd.ie/usis/!W_HU_MENU.P_PUBLISH?p_tag=PROG&MAJR=F038 "Go to 'MSc Global Change: Ecosystem Science & Policy' page") is an international joint degree between the UCD College of Science and [Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen](https://www.uni-giessen.de/de "Go to 'Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen' page").
Global change refers to planetary-scale changes occurring in complex socio-ecological systems, which are affected by climatic and non-climatic drivers (e.g., changes in human society). Understanding the intricate, medium- to long-term changes in our land, air and water requires advanced scientific knowledge in measurement, modelling and prediction. This should in turn inform the science-policy interface.
\
This joint international MSc is the response to these global change challenges and will suit graduates wishing to develop a scientific career in ecosystem research as well as those aiming to contribute to evidence-based environmental policy. Students will study at both UCD, Dublin and Justus Liebig University (JLU) Giessen, Germany where you will be involved in active research groups, contributing to their ongoing ecosystem and policy consultancy studies. \
\
Graduates receive a joint international degree from two well-established universities, which have combined their complementary and multidisciplinary research profiles and cutting-edge expertise.
