Environmental Science

The programme builds a thorough understanding of the causes and scale of environmental problems, training graduates to work across disciplines when analysing and addressing challenges at local, regional and global levels. While grounded primarily in the natural sciences, the curriculum incorporates social science perspectives, reflecting how environmental issues intersect with policy, society and resource use. Students learn to design and carry out experiments and analyses, and to gather and apply environmental data toward solving pressing societal problems. Graduates leave equipped to work within public environmental authorities at any level from local to international, or within private firms offering advisory, analytical and consulting services related to the environment, as well as industries connected to the use of natural resources.
