Program Overview

This integrated master's course gives you the knowledge and practical work-based skills for a career tackling some of today's most important environmental challenges.

Why study environmental science?

The environment we live in is changing rapidly. Solving and managing the problems caused by environmental change is becoming increasingly important.
Drawing on a variety of scientific fields, environmental scientists can help us to unpick the challenges we're up against and put forward the urgent solutions our planet needs.

Through a practical, hands-on approach that runs through all the modules, you'll gain exposure to the skills and technology employed at the forefront of environmental science.
Carry out your own investigations in our specialist labs, and use the latest mapping software in our dedicated computer suite.
Learn to analyse and interpret complex data, and pioneer environmentally sound, scientifically robust solutions.
