Environmental Science as a discipline has grown out of increasing concern for the environment and the need for a scientific approach to the study of human impacts on natural resources. Today’s environmental scientists are challenged to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as climate change, pollution, energy, loss of biodiversity and lack of food and clean water. Our course provides the necessary scientific grounding science and technical training to investigate these problems and find appropriate management solutions.

This programme is directly aimed at students that want to gain employment in the environmental sector whether that is in research institutes, environmental consultancies, environmental protection agencies, water authorities, or conservation bodies. Others may go on to further their careers through postgraduate research culminating in the award of a PhD.
