BSc (Hons) Environmental Management and Ecology
What will I study?
The Herts Geography BSc degree combines classroom-based learning with highly interactive laboratory and field experience. With our environmental field station just 20 minutes from the main campus, you will have unique opportunities to put into practice in the field what you learn in the classroom. What's more, you will have abundant opportunities to do local, national, and international fieldwork as well as develop and undertake your own research projects, allowing you to gain in-demand skills for employment in environmental management and ecology.
Our modules include lectures, workshops, practicals, seminars, and field visits. This variety of teaching combined with access to state-of-the-art facilities will allow you to develop academically, professionally and as both an independent and team-worker.
Assessments on our course are widely varied and focus on developing your research, communication and digital skills. We have also consciously designed our assessments to mirror and better prepare you for the workplace. These range from written coursework, verbal presentations, practical portfolios of work and a research dissertation.
Through our personal tutoring system, you will be allocated a tutor who will be your academic mentor and first port of call on any academic or personal matters you need to discuss from day one. Staff are friendly, approachable and regularly available for students beyond timetabled sessions and one-to-one or small group support is often available.
