Climate Change BSc (Hons) with foundation

Climate Change BSc (Hons) explores the environmental, socio-economic and political aspects of this important inter-disciplinary subject, preparing graduates with understanding and skills to prepare for work in the expanding climate change sector.

The climate crisis remains the defining issue of this century with dramatic consequences expected not only for the global environment but also human health, well-being and all economic sectors – if mitigation is not prioritised.

Climate Change BSc (Hons) at University of Northampton is founded on a thorough knowledge and understanding of the underpinning science of changes in the global climate. Students explore the politics and contested nature of sustainable climate solutions through informed debate and discussion. They will develop vital employability skills by actively exploring how the operation of organisations and businesses is underpinned by consideration of sustainability and climate change.

Campus Information

Waterside Campus

In the summer of 2018 the University of Northampton moved to the brand-new Waterside Campus. This seven-year project saw a neglected brownfield site transformed into a successful and impressive new campus that facilitated a radical re-engineering of the University in terms of both teaching methodology and governance structures. aterside is a waterfront site of 24 hectares on the edge of the town centre. Its successful completion has turned a derelict site into a leading facility in the higher education sector. The project brief emphasised integration, of the University into the town and local community, and of departments, facilities and teams within the University itself. New pedestrian and road bridges and cycle routes link the site to the town, and public facilities and commercial outlets are part of a Waterside experience which continues beyond the University to local historic buildings and parks.
