Course Overview

Birkbeck's BSc Environment and Sustainability give you a deep understanding of what drives environmental change and how to manage natural systems under unprecedented pressure. Led by internationally recognized researchers, you will discover the core scientific principles you need to understand key environmental challenges, including climate change, pollution and waste management, biodiversity loss, and biosecurity.

You will become familiar with fundamental dimensions of environment and sustainability, including adaptation, mitigation, and corporate responsibility. You will learn to collect, analyze and interpret environmental data to improve management practices. 

Core modules taught in this degree will give you a grounding in the ecological and social dimensions of environment and sustainability. You can then tailor your degree by choosing option modules on themes like:

the global food crisis

nature conservation

hydrology

storms

flooding and sea-level rise

cities and urban inequalities

geographic information science (GIS).

You will benefit from our mix of classroom and field-based teaching, including a number of fieldwork opportunities that bring together students to build networks and develop important skills in data collection and analysis. This environment and sustainability degree will also help you develop the social and technical skills you need for both academic research and the modern workplace.

Graduates can pursue career paths in corporate environmental roles, countryside management, conservation, tourism, or planning. Possible professions include:

environmental manager

nature conservation officer

town planner

landscape architect.
