Duration: 3 years full-time with two 5-week placements (or 4 years with a 40-week placement). This dynamic degree integrates the natural sciences and examines how a wide range of factors can affect the environment. You'll gain a solid overview in the discipline of environmental science, as well as looking at how humans shape the world around us on both a local, and global scale. In addition to covering the theory this degree is highly practical, equipping you with a host of transferable skills; you’ll spend time on laboratory & field research, computing, data analysis, report writing, and project management. Practical experience through fieldwork, lab work and work placements form a major part of this degree and there are a range of local, national and international opportunities available. Graduates will be well equipped to find employment with any of these organisations. Alternatively, you may progress to Masters courses and further research.
