Environmental Science

Bristol, UWE

The environment we live in is changing rapidly. Solving and managing the problems caused by environmental change is 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. BSc(Hons) Environmental Science brings together knowledge from a variety of fields to give you a deep understanding of the environmental challenges facing the world today. 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. If you choose the sandwich course option, you'll get to spend your third year working with a public or private sector employer in this country, Europe or further afield, applying your knowledge to current environmental issues.Environmental issues impact at local, national and international levels, and our students go on to make a valuable contribution in many different areas. Past students have worked as pollution scientists, water quality experts and environmental managers with organisations including The Environment Agency, Wessex Water and DEFRA.Duration- Three years full-time; four years with placement year
