Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Environmental Change and Tourism (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

Environmental change particularly that associated with climate change poses one of the most important environmental challenges facing the world today. Tourism and tourism development may be directly affected by aspects of environmental change. The environmental impact of people on the physical and ecological world is also of significant concern. The expansion of tourism into environmentally sensitive areas is an example of the potential impact of people on the natural world.

This degree involves an interdisciplinary study of environmental geoscience and tourism. It will involve studying the complex relationships between geology, landscape, tourism and the environment from both spatial and temporal perspectives. A key focus is on exploring the relationships between the Earth’s natural features and tourism, in a way that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation. In addition, it will develop a greater awareness of sustainable tourism practices through the context of environmental change.

An enthusiastic and friendly team of geographers, environmentalists and tourism experts with wide research interests teach on the Environmental Change and Tourism course at Hope. You will find that Liverpool is a great place to study Environmental Change and Tourism, being an excellent case study of economic, environmental and social regeneration; an international tourism destination; and having surroundings that include stunning upland and coastal landscapes.
