BSc (Hons) Environmental Science (with Foundation Year)

... United Kingdom
... Teesside University

Course Overview

New technological and environmental approaches are needed to conserve the planet's natural resources and change economic, political, and social policies to mitigate the impact before it’s too late.

You explore multiple disciplines (physical geography, geology, atmospheric science, environmental chemistry, biology, and ecology) in classroom, laboratory, computer, and field-based learning environments. You gain critical skills in quantitative analysis, geographic information system mapping and spatial data analysis, and field and laboratory techniques for monitoring environmental and ecological impacts. This diverse skillset empowers you to address environmental challenges and identify innovative solutions for a sustainable future through an environmental science career.

The academic team brings a broad range of relevant expertise to this course, from academic research to professional consultancy. You benefit from our connections with industry, government agencies, NGOs, and research networks, as well as the real-world case studies we embed in our practice-led teaching. You can complete an optional work placement year as part of your course at no extra cost.

Teesside University is in the Tees Valley, an industrialised area pioneering new environmental technology and policies such as net-zero emissions. Surrounding the campus are various national parks and unique coastal ecosystems. This unique mix of industry and nature gives you many learning opportunities.

As an environmental science graduate, you can significantly make the world a better place to live.
