Environmental Science

Overview

Pollution, sea level rise, habitat destruction, flooding, loss of biodiversity, climate change, depletion of the Earth’s natural resources...

Arguably, there has never been a more pressing need to understand the environment and particularly the way humans affect it. At Bath Spa University, Environmental Science provides an excellent combination of theory and practical application, with an opportunity to specialise in topics that interest you.

Environmental Science is available as a 3-year Honours Degree (BSc) or a 2-year Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) award. The two years of the DipHE are identical to the first two years of the BSc. The majority of students on the DipHE award successfully transfer to the BSc at the end of their first year of study, making this another attractive feature of the subject at Bath Spa.

Typical real-life areas of study are: climate change and sea-level rise, pollution impacts, the conservation of biodiversity, environmental management, soil and water conservation, wastes management, environmental law, and the protection and management of natural systems.
