Environmental Science and the Climate Emergency

Study climate change, ecosystems and sustainability while gaining skills to tackle global challenges and build a career that makes a difference. International students that have already submitted a UCAS application should apply via our Clearing System. Our climate and environment are changing at unprecedented and alarming rates.

Now is the time to act boldly to forge effective local and global responses to the planetary crisis and societal emergency. You will explore the deep connections between environmental and social science in class, field and laboratory settings, so that your knowledge can help deliver the next generation of adaptations, mitigations and solutions. As you study, you will develop a strong understanding of how the Earth works across climate change, pollution, ecology, conservation, geography and sustainable management.

Environmental Science is a truly interdisciplinary subject, meaning you will look at the planet from every angle: from what’s happening deep underground to the atmosphere above us; from glaciers and deserts to rainforests and tiny soil microbes; and from people to the landscapes we shape and live in.
