Course overview

Tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the world today by studying humanity's effect on nature as well as how physical, chemical and biological processes maintain and interact with all life on Earth.
Our 4 year integrated master's (MEnvSci) in Environmental Science applies a broad interdisciplinary perspective to understanding how the world works, enabling us to tackle pressing issues such as ensuring that human has access to clean water and air, and the resources required for agriculture and industrial activity.
Practical, hands-on field work will take you to geologically and environmentally fascinating locations in the UK and abroad in every year of study.
