Environmental Science
Environmental Science uses a range of approaches to better understand and solve environmental problems.
Subject overview
Environmental Science seeks solutions to pressing environmental problems – by studying the environmental effects of human activity and applying scientific knowledge and skills to preserve and restore our natural heritage.
You will focus on real-world problems, the biological, chemical and physical processes that underlie them, and the ways in which humans interact when addressing them. You will gain skills in understanding and processing scientific information. You will analyse and model environmental data, and you will communicate that information, including the risk and uncertainty associated with it.
Where can Environmental Science take you?
Our Environmental Science graduates are employed in a diverse range of careers in research and development. They work in local and regional government and also for non-governmental organisations.
