Environmental Science is a holistic subject with many interconnected systems and processes. A change to one process can affect many other processes to different degrees.
Consideration of environmental issues is based on evidence-based information
and an understanding of how society works. Students will develop an
in-depth understanding of both of these approaches.
The skills developed on this course enable students to gain a thorough understanding of the world in which we live and the risks and threats Earth faces.
Students are required to participate in a minimum of field work over the two
year course in addition to practical, laboratory-based activities. Due to
current COVID Regulations, all fieldwork is simulated in the
laboratories.
The Environmental Science course enables students to gain a well-informed insight into the environment, and the scientific processes that control and affect it. The central theme is an understanding of how different events and cycles within the environment interrelate, the human impacts on these events and cycles, and the strategies that can be used to minimise the problems caused.
