About this course
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with International Research Placement, an environmental science degree focusing on ecological systems, environmental pollution, and climate dynamics. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, and Project Management. This four-year course includes an eight-month period spent abroad conducting an environmental research placement. The first year covers foundational concepts through modules such as Applied GIS and Data Science, Connected Earth: Environmental Systems and Change, Ecological Concepts and Plant Sciences, and Environmental Geochemistry. The second year advances these studies with modules including Advanced Research Methods and Project Planning, Field Research Skills for Physical Geography and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Pollution and Management, and Hydroclimatology: Climate and Water. The third year consists entirely of the Environmental Science International Research Placement.
