School of Environment
Our undergraduate courses
The School of Environment offers an array of courses, degrees and qualifications across both the Arts and the Science Faculties. We aim to enhance understanding and management of the human and bio-physical environment. In this section our courses are listed according to subject and then level of study.
School staff are also involved with other University departments in a number of related undergraduate and postgraduate courses and programmes. At undergraduate level we recommend students consider combining these related courses with their degrees in Earth Sciences, Environmental Science, Geography or Geophysics. We also offer courses within the Foundation Studies (formerly Wellesley) Programme. This is a pre-degree programme for those who left school without gaining adequate university entrance qualifications.
