Course summary
Course overview
Our course explores the relationship between humans and the environment. You'll develop the skills to tackle environmental problems and help deliver a sustainable future.
We need scientists to respond to some of the biggest environmental challenges:
- climate change
- biodiversity loss of species and habitat
- environmental pollution
Study a wide range of subjects including geography and biology with the flexibility to specialise in your area of interest.
All environmental sciences students will complete fieldwork and gain practical skills. This real-world experience allows you to apply your knowledge and develop the skills which are in demand by the environmental sector.
How you will be assessed
We use a range of assessment methods, including exams, essays, verbal presentations and practicals. You will receive a copy of our marking criteria which provides guidance on how we will assess your work.
Your work will be marked on time and you will receive regular feedback. You must pass each year to progress. This typically means that you will need to achieve marks of at least 40% in each module.
Students who do not achieve an average 55% mark at the end of Year 2 will transfer to the three year BSc programme. Full details on our marking criteria and structure will be provided at your induction.
To study abroad as part of your degree, you must meet minimum academic requirements in year one.
