Environmental Science with Education BSc (Hons)

Each semester, students will take 2 modules in Environmental Sciences and 1 module in Education.

In Year 1 students start with a residential field school and then study modules related to environmental sustainability, understanding environmental systems, climate change and data analysis skills relevant to the environmental scientist.

In Year 2 students study geographic information systems and remote sensing, environmental planning, land and water ecology, atmospheric processes, freshwater systems and pollution, coastal and marine systems (for the marine science pathway), enterprise, business and employability and attend a residential overseas field school (usually in Portugal).

In the final year students continue geographic information systems and remote sensing and other modules focus on environmental change, environmental challenges and management, applications of water science and pollution remediation, physical and biological oceanography (for the marine science pathway) and a research project on a specific environmental problem.

Students also have the option to extend their academic studies by electing to study abroad for a year or by working in industry/business. This additional year spent away from Ulster University is taken in the third year.
