Environmental Scientists are needed more than ever by industry, government and society. The Environmental Science degree brings together information from a wide range of subjects to explore some of the most important threats facing the world, such as climate change, pollution, conservation, and food security. The degree is broadly based with its roots in biology (giving you an understanding of organisms, their environments and their communities), chemistry (providing an understanding of many natural environmental processes and pollution), earth science (giving you a background in global processes), and land and water resource management. A combination of such subject areas, combined with many practical sessions and field trips, creates a degree that is both fascinating and rewarding.

The broad base of the degree, together with specific modules designed to enhance your employability means you will have many options to consider in terms of career opportunities. The skills you will gain will be relevant to employment in a range of industrial organisations, advisory agencies, consultants, and local and national government. Postgraduate study or research leading to a PhD is also an option.
