Specialisation Pathways

Specialisation Pathways

By appropriate combinations of elective and optional topics at each level you will be able to tailor a course which will allow you to emphasise particular aspects of the environmental sciences, such as environmental management, aquatic environments, and earth systems. Alternatively, you may want to keep your career options open and opt to take a more varied programme: at Bath Spa the choice is yours.
