Gain biological and geographical perspectives of the environment with this hands-on course.
- Taught by professionals who are enthusiastic, committed, and supportive.
- Opportunity to specialise – design a programme suited to your interests and aspirations.
- Emphasis on practical and fieldwork – opportunities within the UK and abroad.
Climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity, environmental mismanagement, energy use, waste management, sustainability, and protection of natural systems are among the planet’s most pressing problems.
We’ll help you understand these issues and develop the skills to do something about them. Expect to ‘get your hands dirty’. We get you out of the classroom and into the environment as much as possible, so that you’ll develop the practical skills that employers look for.
Course Details - Modules
In Year One, you’ll study Environmental Science from two related perspectives: biological and geographical, which will be covered alongside biodiversity and conservation. You will also select two optional modules.
Year Two will see you study critical aspects of environmental science in more depth, in particular ecology and environmental management. There is also a wide range of optional modules to choose from, which allows you to tailor your programme e.g. around your career aspirations.
