This 3-year course, or 4 years with an optional placement, explores Environmental Sciences, which analyze the natural environment and human influences on it. Graduates gain an interdisciplinary grasp of environmental systems' complexity, developing skills to observe, measure, model, and manage these through integrated theoretical, practical, and field-based methods. The program encompasses fields like ecology, geography, glaciology, meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, geology, pedology, and environmental chemistry, addressing contemporary issues such as climate change, natural hazards, environmental degradation, conservation, planning, recreation, tourism, and international development.Combining Environmental Science with an Education minor at Ulster provides a strong foundation for careers in education, introducing key concepts in theory and practice across Northern Ireland, the UK, and beyond. The degree offers broad scientific training and diverse career paths, including roles as teachers, landscape planners, environmental engineers, consultants, tourist officers, architects, wardens, and researchers in public and private sectors. Further professional or postgraduate training may be required, with many excellent one-year options available.
