Topics studied:
In addition to these core topics, you will develop specialist knowledge and skills regarding the reciprocal behaviour-environment relationship. You will learn about how the environment influences human behaviour: this includes how we perceive and navigate our environments, the role of built and natural environments on behaviour; as well as how other environmental influences - such as noise, temperature crowding - can shape and impact on our behaviour. You will also study how human behaviour impacts the environment: you will learn about the environmental issues that we face today (such as climate change, air pollution), and what we can contribute as psychologists to encourage pro-environmental behaviour.
You will learn how to apply your theoretical and research knowledge to practical problems. This programme is led and hosted by the School of Psychology, and we work in collaboration with the UEL's centre of excellence - the Sustainability Research Centre (SRI) - to deliver some of the material, placement work and co-supervise projects. In joining us at UEL, you will have a unique student experience as well as learning the requisite knowledge base and skills to contribute to the creation of a sustainable future.
Upon graduation, you will be able to progress your career in central and local government focused on research-based policies on a variety of environment-related behaviour issues, climate science and environmental communicators, private sector in the research and design of behavioural interventions, or further study at MSc or PhD level.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
In addition to this, you will learn about the environment: how it influences human behaviour, and how our behaviour impacts the environment. The British Psychological Society states that "psychology has an important role in combating climate change". Changing human behaviour and public acceptability of 'green' policies are, however, not straightforward.
This course aims to teach and engage you with the importance of the psychology of behaviour change in different environmental contexts and sustainability. We will explore theories, methods and research into environment and sustainability behaviour change.
You will develop specialist knowledge and skills of psychology applied to the different environments around us and sustainability. Including:
During your studies, you will be offered teaching support, organised placements with industry partners and co-supervise research projects, led and hosted by the School of Psychology and in collaboration with UEL's centre of excellence - the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI).
We consistently review our courses to ensure we are up to date with industry changes and requirements from our graduates. As a result, our modules are subject to change.

YOUR FUTURE CAREER
This programme will offer an enriching learning and employability experience, particularly within the environmental communication and behaviour change sector. Jobs available within this sector are set to increase; the last election pledges from the main political parties have indicated an investment in 'green' jobs and greening the workforce. Careers and graduate prospects for students who complete the Environmental Psychology degree include central and local government focused on research-based policies; environmental organisations focused on how to communicate the issues of climate change more effectively; working in the private sector in the research and design of behavioural interventions.
In offering this programme with UEL's Sustainability Research Institute, you will have the opportunity to be involved in community engagement and participation programmes with various stakeholders. As well as adding value to the learning experience, the real-world employability skills developed will add further 'work ready' competencies which will prove valuable in the competitive job market. You can tailor your studies to career-driven, industry-connected, research-led outcomes as you wish. Those who engage in placements with local community connections will develop the skills and confidence to apply and interview for jobs they want.
In addition to added employability skills following completion of this degree, you will also be able to use this programme as a springboard to further your education or academic research interests. This could include furthering your studies by undertaking existing programmes within the School of Psychology. For example, in response to the global climate emergency there will be an increase of environmental migrants or climate refugees i.e., people who are forced to leave their home due to the effects of climate change. If you wish to specialise further in this area, the School of Psychology offers an MSc in Humanitarian Intervention. In addition, our newly proposed BSc programme will provide a solid foundation for applied environmental psychology research, thereby creating opportunities for you to pursue a PhD should you wish.
In addition to the unique collaborative learning and placement experience, this programme will be accredited by the British Psychological Society, allowing graduates to enter a broader range of professional psychology jobs and/ or postgraduate programmes should you seek to do so. Those who engage in placements and research with community connections can use this as an opportunity to establish relationships with prospective employers, leading to additional support when searching for work.
