With experts delivering research insights from across the Department of Geography and Environmental Science and the School of Biology and Behavioural Sciences, the interdisciplinary opportunities available in this programme set it apart internationally and will allow you to gain advanced knowledge while tailoring your skill set to meet the growing demand for ecological and environmental expertise**Transformative Science for a Better World**The BSc in Environmental Science programme offers a powerful opportunity to gain the skills that are necessary to address environmental harms while developing pathways to sustainable futures. The coursework and field trips you take, including in your first year to Malta, provide conceptual and experiential insights that complement the transferable skills in data collection, quantitative and geospatial analysis, and laboratory techniques that you will acquire. Our facilities provide you with technical instruments and software packages that are industry-standard in careers across public and private sector organisations, and you'll have opportunities to take them even further afield through additional field trip options.During your studies, you'll have flexibility to keep one foot in the world of environmental policy and the social and political contests that increasingly impact ecological systems, while learning about practical approaches to environmental management and conservation. You’ll have the opportunity to undertake a work placement in an environmentally focused role within an external organisation. Your elective choices will enable you to situate the core concerns of environmental science amid your broader interests and anchor the independently designed and delivered research you complete in your final year. Our world-leading experts in environmental pollution, ecological restoration, rewilding and Nature-Based Solutions will support your learning and provide practical insights into how to ask questions that change how we understand, and know, our rapidly changing planet.The BSc Environmental Science is an ideal degree if you want to pursue a career where you can apply skills in the lab and in the field to ecological challenges that consultancy firms, environment agencies, developers, and environmental management organisations seek to address. The hands-on approach to learning that you gain through this programme is matched by the profound understanding of ecological complexity that a career restoring, managing, and protecting environmental systems requires.### Professional recognition**This programme is accredited by the Community for Environmental Disciplines in Higher Education (part of the Institution of Environmental Sciences), and the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP).**
