What students say about environmental-science

I don't really engage with the SU or Student support so can't judge them effectively. Parts of Singleton campus look run down, but Bay campus is brand new and looks great. Swansea has a great student life and its location gives you loads to do, like explore the gower and spend time on the beach when the weather permits.

What students say about environmental-science

For someone who has to live for the first time away from their family, that too in a new country. Bangor really welcomed me with open arms. From International Student Staff to the fraternity, everyone is so sweet and helpful. I love that they make you feel at home. Even if you’ve the slightest doubt , they are there to help you with it. I’m happy that I’m surrounded by such great people.

The campus is easy access, even for someone who isn’t living in student accommodation on campus. Every member of staff and member of the student union that I’ve spoken to has been extremely helpful and has helped to clarify any issues that I’ve been having. The university of Leicester is a challenging, yet exciting institution to study at.

What students say about environmental-science

My university experience had both highs and lows. I enjoyed learning new things, meeting people, and working on projects, which helped me grow personally and academically. At the same time, challenges like heavy workloads and occasional disorganization taught me resilience and time management, making the experience overall valuable and formative.

My university experience has been very positive overall. The teaching staff are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely supportive, which makes a big difference academically and personally. The course content is engaging and relevant, with a good balance between theory and practical application. I’ve also really valued the sense of community — there are plenty of societies, events, and opportunities to meet people from diverse backgrounds, making it a welcoming and inclusive place to study. The campus facilities and resources, particularly the library and online learning platforms, have been extremely helpful.

What students say about environmental-science

The University of Hertfordshire has great facilities, but there are quite a few unnecessary procedures that could be streamlined, such as booking appointments for even the smallest matters. My experience so far has been disappointing from an academic perspective. I was expecting better quality education, but instead, most of the lectures consist of simply reading from PowerPoint slides, and the practical sessions have been far from engaging. While I understand that self-study is important, not all students, especially international ones like myself, have prior industrial experience or expertise. It's crucial that the university recognizes this and provides clearer, more detailed information about the curriculum, how exams work, and what is expected in terms of assessments. Relying solely on self-study and putting too much responsibility on the students isn’t fair, especially when we're paying for a quality education.

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

Studying environmental science

Environmental science combines parts of different subject areas, like biology, physics, geography, ecology, and more. During a degree in environmental science, you’ll learn about the natural world and how humans are impacting the environment. You’ll therefore look at topics like climate change, pollution levels, sustainability and conservation, while learning in classroom settings as well as in the field and lab. Preserving nature and the environment has become one of the world’s leading priorities in recent times and the surrounding issues are likely to stay in the public eye for decades to come. Therefore, there’s never been a better time to get into environmental science and studying the subject at uni will give you the skills and knowledge needed to pursue several relevant career paths in areas like environmental engineering, environmental education, preservation, conservation and marine biology.
