The environment in which we live is changing rapidly. Solving and managing the problems and challenges caused by environmental change is becoming an increasingly important issue for modern society. Environmental Science draws on skills and knowledge from a variety of scientific fields, combining a broad range of subjects to both build a deep understanding of the environmental challenges facing the world today and find real world solutions to help society adapt to our changing planet.
By studying MSci Environmental Science at UWE Bristol draws on skills and knowledge from a variety of scientific fields, combining a broad range of subjects to build a deep understanding of the environmental challenges that face the world today. This course has a practical focus. Whether you are on one of our expeditions working in the threatened forests of Madagascar, diving on the coral reefs of Cuba, carrying out an investigation in one of our labs, or using latest mapping software in our dedicated computer suite, you will learn by using the skills and cutting edge technology employed at the forefront of environmental science.
Throughout the course, you will be able to apply your expertise and build professional skills in work-based settings with placements, internships and volunteering roles.
