This adaptable program integrates diverse scientific fields to create a customized degree aligned with your passions and professional goals.
Your coursework will explore key elements of Earth's systems, covering atmospheric science, aquatic and land-based ecosystems, and the vital role of organisms in the biosphere, while examining how these components interconnect. The curriculum examines both natural environments and humanity's impact on planetary systems.
You'll learn from globally recognized scholars throughout your studies and gain hands-on experience in our cutting-edge laboratories, equipped with outstanding resources for experimental work.
The first year introduces core environmental science concepts, from hydrology and flood dynamics to meteorological and climatic patterns. Second-year studies expand on these foundations while incorporating practical application through a residential field course at Carrock Fell in the Lake District UNESCO site. This immersive week-long module provides direct environmental learning in an engaging, hands-on format.
Further fieldwork opportunities enhance your education, ranging from studying water systems in Devon to exploring alpine ecosystem management in Switzerland.
