Our environmental science course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience to tackle environmental challenges and forge a career that lets you make a positive impact on the world. Mixing essential theory with real-life research expeditions and field training, our environmental science degree gives you the transferable skills to succeed in the environmental sector. Whether you choose a three-year (BSc) or four-year (MSci) study route, you’ll develop both lab and field skills that will enhance your understanding of the processes taking place on earth – and how they impact on our planet. With a heavy focus on field trips and work experience, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to put your skills into practice. You’ll develop valuable employment skills that will let you pursue the environmental issues and career avenues that matter to you. You’ll enhance your employability skills and hands-on experience through a year-long, paid work experience placement, an optional work experience-based module and our excellent links with volunteering schemes. You’ll have the chance to take part in research expeditions. We ensure every student has adequate support throughout their time with us. That’s why you’ll get matched with a Personal Tutor as well as a Student Learning Assistant and a Graduate Academic Assistant. They’ll have experience in your subject area and will be able to help whenever you need. Our BSc Environmental Science is also accredited by the Committee of Heads of Environmental Sciences (CHES) / Institution of Environmental Science (IES), which means you’ll be able to apply for associate membership once you’ve graduated.
