Ulster University
Environmental Science with Education and optional placement year
Course Summary
This course is 3 years or 4 years if you choose to complete an optional placement year.
Environmental Sciences examine the natural environment and human impact upon it. These courses produce science graduates with an interdisciplinary understanding of the complexity and uncertainty of environmental systems. Graduates will be equipped with the skills and competencies to observe, measure, model and manage these systems. This is achieved through the integration of theoretical, practical and field-based approaches.
Interdisciplinary in nature, the courses embrace ecology, geography, glaciology, meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, geology, pedology and environmental chemistry, and consider present-day environmental problems such as climate change, natural hazards, environmental degradation, conservation, planning, recreation, tourism provision, and international development.
Studying Education as a minor in combination with Environmental Science offered at Ulster is an excellent introduction to a future career path in the general education sector. It will provide you with an introduction to the main concepts and concerns of contemporary educational theory and practice in NI, the UK and internationally.
Environmental Sciences offers a broad scientific training and a wide range of career choices. Our graduates have found employment as teachers (both primary and secondary), landscape planners, environmental engineers, environmental consultants, tourist officers, landscape architects, countryside wardens, environmental officers, researchers, and more in both the private and public sectors. Additional professional and/or postgraduate training might also be necessary. Many excellent one-year postgraduate courses are available.
