Overview

The environment we live in is changing rapidly. Solving and managing the problems caused by environmental change is increasingly important.

Drawing on a variety of scientific fields, environmental scientists can help us to unpick the challenges we’re up against and put forward the urgent solutions our planet needs.

Career opportunities

Environmental issues impact at local, national and international levels, and our students go on to make a valuable contribution in many different areas.

Past students have worked as pollution scientists, water quality experts and environmental managers with organisations including The Environment Agency, Wessex Water and DEFRA.

Some find roles as environmental consultants, working on renewable energy, waste management or the consequences of climate change. Others go into environmental education in schools, field studies organisations or postgraduate study.
