MEnvSci Environmental Science with International Study

Competition in the graduate job market has risen dramatically over the last ten years, and students are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate themselves. An excellent way to do this is by choosing to incorporate international study into your course.

Our MEnvSci Environmental Science course with International Study is a 4 year degree that will allow you to study at one of our worldwide partner universities whilst completing the third year of your degree. This experience can boost your prospects in the job market and give you a new perspective on your subject area.

The third year is spent studying at one of our world-wide partner universities. These currently include universities in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The placement year is fully assessed by the host university and will involve coursework, laboratory classes and examinations. The study abroad academic tutor will be in contact with you during your stay and will provide help and support when necessary.

An MEnvSci honours degree in Environmental Science at The University of Manchester is focused on a holistic understanding of Earth systems in order to learn from the past, understand the present and influence the future. Environmental Science is the study of how physical, chemical and biological processes maintain and interact with life, and includes the study of how humans affect nature. As Environmental Science is at the cross-roads of the natural sciences, it provides an enriching alternative to a single-subject honours degree, and can open the door to an exciting range of career options.

We are a department of environmental scientists, geologists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, physicists and computer scientists, who work together to study the Earth's environment. Our degree covers the full breadth of environmental science, reflecting the main research themes that are fundamental to the work we do in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Our course will equip you with an armory of skills to take into the world of work, including the ability to analyze problems, to work collaboratively as part of a team, and to develop field, laboratory, numeracy and communication skills.

The reputation of Environmental Science at The University of Manchester's Department of Earth and Environmental Science rests on our world-leading inter- disciplinary research into processes operating on, within and beyond the Earth.
