**Summary**: The impact of human activities on the planet has reached unparalleled levels and, coupled with an increasing population, is of significant concern. The detrimental impact of human activity is far reaching and includes changes to climate, depletion of natural resources and loss of biodiversity. You can complete an optional work placement year. **Course details**: Humans will have to develop new technological and environmental approaches to conserve the planet's natural resources, and change economic, political and social policies significantly if we hope to mitigate these detrimental impacts before it is too late. As a graduate with an environmental science degree you can play a significant part in making the world a better place to live in. This degree provides you with the underpinning knowledge and skills to measure and assess the impact of human activities on the complex and interconnected environmental systems which support life on this planet - and to be able to harness science to develop solutions for a sustainable future. **After the course**: Graduating with an environmental science degree can lead to a variety of careers, including that of an environmental consultant working on commercial or government contracts, addressing a variety of environmental issues. Your role and responsibilities could cover a wide range of disciplines including assessment of air, land and water contamination, environmental impact assessment, environmental audit, waste management and the development of environmental policy, and environmental management systems.

A key and unique element of our sustainability programmes is the multidisciplinary and practical solutions focused approach where you develop and apply your learning by addressing real sustainability problems. Project-based learning is extensively utilised throughout, both in specific group and individual project modules and through various activities in other modules which together make up approximately 50% of the course. These modules and activities allow you to develop and apply your learning to real-life problems and situations by engaging in a variety of activities including site visits, field trips and design-based investigations for local companies and community-based projects. The course provides a number of contact teaching and assessment hours (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, projects, examinations), but you are also expected to spend time on your own - self-study time - to review lecture notes, prepare coursework assignments, work on projects and revise for assessments. One module in each year of your study involves a compulsory one-week block delivery period. This intensive problem-solving week, provides you with an opportunity to focus your attention on particular problems and enhance your team-working and employability skills. Assessment is based on a combination of project work, examinations and in-course assessments aimed at encouraging team work and independent management skills essential to academic study and your professional development.
