Environmental Science (BSc (Hons))

Environmental Science is the study of the physical, chemical and biological processes of the Earth and of human interactions with these processes. It uses a multi-disciplinary perspective to consider approaches to protecting, preserving and managing the environment.

Environmental Science has become critically important because of the need to protect the natural and human environment for present and future generations.

Environmental issues such as climate change, conserving biodiversity, management of waste and natural resources, production of energy and protecting human health are now high on the agenda of all governments, resulting in stringent regulations and standards, but also new directions for research, focussed on improving the sustainability of all human activities. This in turn has created a greater need for knowledgeable and appropriately trained Environmental Scientists.
