Taught by world-leading researchers, this highly flexible degree programme will allow you to explore how the physical, chemical and biological components of the natural environment function and how they are impacted by, and affect, our society, politics and culture in this era of the Anthropocene. How can we tackle the climate and biodiversity crises? What are the best strategies for achieving Net Zero? How are our oceans and rivers changing? What physical processes drive our weather? What happens inside an erupting volcano? How can we transform our energy systems and achieve greater sustainability in our lifestyles? If these are the sorts of questions that fascinate you, and if you want to study them to a high level with a view to possibly going on to a PhD, this advanced four-year integrated master's degree is for you. You’ll also have the chance to broaden your studies by spending a year studying at one of our partner institutions in Europe, US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. The environment supports all aspects of our daily life but is also the source of some of the most complex and wide-ranging challenges facing human society and the planet’s stability. The need for environmental scientists who can help us respond to these challenges and ‘make a difference’ at local and global scales has never been greater. This degree will help you become one of these essential people. Throughout your degree you'll have opportunities to embark on national and international fieldwork including Greece, Ireland and Swaziland or Peru, conduct experiments in our state-of-the-art laboratories, and develop highly valued transferable skills in data analysis, spatial visualisation and science communication. Upon graduating, you'll be a highly trained environmental scientist, well-equipped to take up positions across the public and private sectors where you can provide real world solutions to today’s environmental challenges.
