Environmental Science

Environmental Science is the study of Planet Earth. From its past to its future, from the centre of the earth to the upper atmosphere, from microscopic life to giant whales and dinosaurs.

A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. The field work is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.
