Description:

Redefine tomorrow by learning how we can make the world a safer place for all. Dig into scientific solutions that help communities adapt to the impacts of climate breakdown, from floods to forest fires. With this BSc program, you’ll integrate physics, chemistry, biology, and geography. Then, delve deeply into topics like atmospheric science, glaciology, and climate modelling. See how climate science becomes climate policy, to drive the environmental — and societal — change we need.
