Course Description

Understanding key environmental issues, such as global warming and plastic pollution, is the first step to devising solutions for a cleaner planet and a healthier future generation. An Environmental and Analytical Science BSc(Hons) degree equips you with comprehensive knowledge of the Earth’s systems and the skills and knowhow to contribute to the field of environmental science as an analytical scientist.

On campus, you’ll have the opportunity to study a wide range of modules including Earth Processes, Sustainability, Anthropocene, Climate Meteorology and Atmospheric Systems, and Analytical Science.

After completing the core modules in your first and second years, you’ll be able to specialise in your final year.
