Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Environmental Biology (with Placement Year)
Program Overview
Our BSc Ecology and Environmental Biology course explores the diversity of the living world, across levels of biological organisation, from genes to individuals, their populations, and the communities they form, up to entire ecosystems.
Building on research produced in our School of Life Sciences, you will examine these concepts across terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, examining taxa from smallest microbes to the largest organisms on Earth.
This course investigates the role biodiversity plays in supporting ecosystem functions and the flow of ecosystem services on which humanity depends, alongside how biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are changing in response to multiple interacting stressors (eg climate change, chemical pollution, habitat loss etc.) as we progress in the Anthropocene.
You will develop strong practical and data-handling skills for management solutions to tackle the challenges to ecosystems that the Anthropocene brings. You will also have the option to train in tropical marine biology in Indonesia, and environmental biology and ecology in our new Arctic field course.
Placement year
Alternatively, you can spend your third year on a placement with an external organisation. This is usually focused around your course, and enables you to learn about a particular sector, company, or job role, apply your academic knowledge in a practical working environment, and receive inspiration for future career pathways.
Organisations our students have recently been placed with include CEFAS, IFCA, ecological consultancies among many others.
