Description:

The environment supports all aspects of our daily life but is also the source of some of the most complex and wide-ranging challenges facing human society today. The need for people who can help us respond to these challenges, whether at global or local scale, has never been greater. This degree will help you become one of those people. You will explore how the components of the natural environment function and how they are affected by, and affect, our society, politics and culture. You will cultivate a wide range of skills and knowledge, whilst discovering how you can make a difference to our world. You will have the opportunity to build a degree that suits your interests, focusing your studies on one theme or constructing a more varied profile as you wish. You’ll also gain important field skills and have the chance to put them into practice on field trips to locations such as Spain, Ireland or Greece, as well as the UK. Upon graduation you will be well equipped to follow one of a wide range of environmental careers or use your skills to pursue other graduate opportunities.

This degree programme (and the Year in Industry version) is accredited by the Institute of Environmental Sciences (IES). That means that on graduating, you will be eligible for Associate Membership of the IES, giving access to networking and professional development opportunities. You may choose to progress to a Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) or Scientist (CSci) status as you build your environmental career. This demonstrates to employers your ongoing commitment to developing the knowledge and skills gained in your degree. The course is renowned for its quality and teaching excellence. We scored 97% for overall satisfaction in physical geography and environmental sciences in the 2017 National Student Survey.
