Throughout the course there is a strong emphasis on ‘hands-on’ aspects, with a high laboratory component and a choice of local and international field trips.

The degree in Environmental Sciences is taught through all four Disciplines in the School of Natural Sciences together with contributions from the School of Engineering. The degree structure is designed to provide for the needs of students with an interest in this rapidly developing academic and professional field.
