This course delves into the processes shaping Earth's diverse ecosystems and environments. Students can customize their studies to focus on key specialisms such as global environmental change, conservation, sustainability, and environmental quality and technology, while developing expertise to address the climate crisis. As one of the earliest programmes in the field, the University of Sheffield leads in environmental science through research-driven teaching in labs and the field. Building from foundational topics in geography, earth science, and biology, learners progress to advanced specialisms in later years, incorporating essential practical work and field classes. The university covers all costs for core residential field trips, ensuring accessibility.The programme is fully accredited by the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) and the Committee of Heads of Environmental Sciences (CHES), offering eligibility for student membership and a pathway to Chartered Environmentalist status. With environmental science in high demand, graduates pursue careers in industry, research, conservation, and ecology. Students can also engage in vibrant student life through societies like GeogSoc, which provides social, academic, and outdoor activities.
