Our triple accredited BSc (Hons) Environmental Health degree will prepare you to be a highly regarded professional in a career that will enable you to play an important role within society.

The BSc (Hons) in Environmental Health at Cardiff Met provides an opportunity to study for five potential career opportunities within one discipline area, including, Food Safety, Housing, Health & Safety in the Workplace, Environmental Protection and the underpinning themes of Public Health, Epidemiology and Risk Assessment.

Our teaching team consists of experienced practitioners from both public and private sectors and their knowledge will enable you to become a well-rounded professional within the field.

We have excellent work-based placement opportunities in both the private and public sector, and you will have the opportunity to undertake several UK and overseas field trips to enhance your learning experience.

Learning & Teaching

A variety of learning and teaching methods are used, such as lectures, seminars, visits, practical sessions, problem based learning, case studies and role-play exercises. All teaching is supported by the Moodle virtual leaning environment and Microsoft Teams, which helps students to access information when it is needed. Notes, reading and discussion boards are used to support student learning.

Through the degree programme contact time varies. Our teaching is mainly on-campus through workshops, seminars and lectures and these are supported by online activities and resources. Your learning time with the staff and your peers should be supported by self-dedicated study time.

A personal tutor scheme supports students with academic and pastoral support from the first year onwards, and encourages students to set and achieve their academic and career goals through all years of the programme.

Teaching staff are all actively engaged with the Higher Education Academy with a number of members of staff receiving awards and recognition for their innovative teaching practice.

Assessment

Assessment consists of a variety of forms including:

  • Coursework
  • Practical assessments
  • Presentations and posters
  • Group work
  • Peer assessment
  • Professional interview
  • Written examinations
