Leading to: Environmental and Analytical Science BSc (Hons)

Understanding the impact of human activities on our environment is essential to protecting it for future generations. The Environmental and Analytical Science BSc(Hons) degree at Huddersfield gives you a comprehensive understanding of Earth's systems and equips you with the skills and knowledge of an analytical scientist.

  • This course is accredited by the Committee of Heads of Environmental Sciences (CHES), the education committee of the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) and is reviewed on a regular basis.
  • You'll have the chance to study a range of subjects including biogeography, inorganic and organic chemistry, earth processes, landscape and fluvial systems, climate science and sustainability before specialising in your final year.
  • In the third year of the course you’ll have the opportunity to benefit from a work placement. This could help you to gain relevant real-world experience and give you a head start in your chosen career. In the final year you’ll have the chance to develop and hone your independent research skills as part of the research project module.
  • We also firmly believe in ‘learning through doing’ and since fieldwork is an integral part of any environmental scientists training, we’ve embedded field-trips throughout all years of study.
  • All our teaching staff are educated to doctoral level and have expertise in a range of environmental and analytical subject areas.
