Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - Environmental Sciences

UEA's BSc Environmental Sciences programme explores questions such as: How can we tackle the climate and biodiversity crises? What are the best strategies for achieving Net Zero? How are our oceans and rivers changing?  What physical processes drive our weather? What happens inside an erupting volcano? How can we transform our energy systems and achieve greater sustainability in our lifestyles? 

The environment supports all aspects of our daily life but is also the source of some of the most complex and wide-ranging challenges facing humanity. The need for environmental scientists who can help us respond to these challenges and ‘make a difference’ at local and global scale has never been greater. This degree will help students become one of these essential people.  

Students will conduct experiments in UEA's state-of-the-art laboratories, and develop highly valued transferable skills in data analysis, spatial visualisation and science communication. They will also gain important field skills and have the exciting opportunity to embark on national and international fieldwork in places such as Greece, Ireland, Swaziland, or Peru.

Upon completion of this programme, graduates will be highly trained environmental scientists, well-equipped to take up rewarding positions across the public and private sectors where they can provide real-world solutions to today’s environmental challenges.
