Environmental Science, BSc (Hons)

This course examines the interplay between humans and the environment, equipping students with essential skills to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. Key issues include climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, requiring scientists to drive solutions. Students explore diverse subjects like geography and biology, with options to specialize, while engaging in fieldwork to develop practical expertise in areas such as environmental impact assessment, renewable energies, and pollution monitoring.Practical components emphasize hands-on skills in surveying and monitoring, including activities like bat surveys and habitat assessments. Taught by active researchers and supported by industry collaborations, the program offers study abroad opportunities, placements, and accreditation. Core modules cover climate impacts and ecosystems in the first year, advancing to climate science and optional topics in later years, culminating in an original research project.
