Environmental sciences and management is a modern, exciting, multi-disciplinary field, which includes subject areas as diverse as chemistry, biology, ecology, biochemistry, toxicology, earth sciences, law, sociology, economics and management. Our practically based courses will expose you to many of these aspects and lead you to an integrated, well rounded degree.
When you start the programme, you will concentrate on learning the fundamentals that underpin environmental science – especially those related to biology and chemistry.
In senior years, you will be exposed to required courses on how our planet's biogeochemistry "fits together", and environmental issues related to law and justice, ethics and economics. Through electives, you can explore other domains in microbiology, the marine habitat, pollution and toxicology, conservation and environmental impact assessment, as well as sampling skills and risk assessment.
To train your independent thinking, there are courses which enable you to undertake an independent scientific project under the supervision of an academic staff member. During the process, apart from gaining a deeper understanding of the research topic, you will acquire essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, organization and time management, which are essential for your career-building.
