Environmental Science

Environmental Science allows you a practical approach to all three sciences, from the creations of our Earth and its atmosphere to how we measure and predict change as well as looking to the further to ensure human existence on Earth.

Environmental Scientists using a vast amount of experimental techniques and field study-based research will explore the scientific systems of gathering data and evaluating evidence to support the future of our planet. Environmental Science gives you the opportunity to gain insights and understanding of how geographical and biological components are interrelated in terms of the environment. You will have many opportunities to physically explore a variety of living and physical environments in field studies, workshops, day trips, guest lectures and residential trips. A huge draw for many students is measuring current levels of pollution, looking to energy and biological resources to ensure sustainability of life on Earth.

5 grade 6s at GCSE including 6s in English and Maths. Grade 6 in any two Sciences.

Environmental Science will lead you to both answers and more questions, and sits particularly well alongside subjects like Biology, Chemistry or Geography. Environmental Science is a very wide subject, accepted by universities as relevant not only for Environmental Science degrees, but also for related degrees such as Oceanography, Geology, Marine Biology and Zoology. It can lead, with appropriate other subjects, to a wide range of careers including wildlife conservation, engineering, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, environmental law, tourism and sustainable architecture.
