Program Description
Environmental management involves the protection and conservation of natural resources, from the air we breathe, to the water we drink to the ecosystems that support life to the renewable and non-renewable energy and materials that are exploited for modern living and the disposal of waste.
Human activities exert a profound impact on the natural world but with concerted environmental stewardship from the local to global level, negative environmental impacts can be minimized to ensure long-term sustainability
In this course, students will benefit from an applied and multi-disciplinary approach, gaining a working knowledge of biology, chemistry, ecology, geography, geology, and the social sciences, delivered by research and practice-led teaching staff, drawing on case studies and active academic and professional experience.
Students gain knowledge and skills needed to navigate the scientific, social, technological, and regulatory aspects of an environmental management career. They learn how to communicate scientific principles clearly and effectively to a range of stakeholders from local community members/groups to national/international governing bodies.
In the advanced practice programme, the second year is spent with an external organization or in an internal internship with one of Teesside's academic experts. Students gain experience as a professional engaged in applied research and/or environmental management-relevant work.
