Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Environmental Science

Program Description

Today’s environmental scientists are challenged to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems from climate change, pollution, and the loss of biodiversity to the sustainable provision of energy, food, and clean water.

Stirling was one of the first UK universities to introduce an Environmental Science degree and the course is accredited by the Institution of Environmental Sciences. Stirling conducts world-leading research and is a hub for conservation and environmental organisations.

The University was selected to host Scotland’s International Enviroment Centre and Scotland’s Hydro Nation Chair. The Forth Environmental Resilience Array (Forth-ERA) is a state-of-the-art environmental monitoring system – the first of its kind worldwide – that links local sensors, satellite data and artificial intelligence via the 5G network to provide real-time data for sustainable decision making. Students will learn from researchers working at the forefornt of finding solutions to global problems together with outstanding networking and career opportunities, making Stirling a superb place to study Environmental Science.
