Study
Environmental Sciences is the interdisciplinary study of atmospheric, oceanic, freshwater and terrestrial environments, coupled with an understanding of the interactions with human society. A major study area is the science of climate change, exploring the links between environmental processes and problems and how to find solutions, making this a particularly challenging and rewarding area of study.
Structure
Our flexible course structure suits both students seeking to gain additional training in Environmental Sciences, and non-Environmental Science graduates from related areas seeking to widen their knowledge and skills. Students choose from several areas of expertise and integrate their knowledge with practical methods of environmental impact assessment and management. The ability to collect, analyse, interpret and present (often diverse) datasets and use analytical tools (such as numerical models and Geographic Information Systems) provides students with a number of technical and presentational skills that are highly valuable in the job market.
