The Environmental Science BSc programmes, built around the University of Birmingham's impressive research record, will allow students to develop an in-depth understanding of the Earth’s most complex environmental problems. The University of Birmingham will give students the knowledge and skills they need to help resolve the world’s most pressing problems in a sustainable way.

There is a growing need for graduates with a strong scientific background but who are also able to apply their knowledge to environmental management and protection globally.

The Environmental Science with Year Abroad BSc degree is designed around three key themes – understanding environmental processes and systems; investigating changes and impacts; and enabling their prediction and mitigation.

This programme has been designed to provide choice and flexibility whilst ensuring that students develop appropriate skills with a sound scientific foundation. The course includes both core modules taken by all Environmental Science students, and selected optional modules which allow students to concentrate on themes which are of particular interest to them.
