Nature is in crisis at a global scale, and we can all make a difference to transform the world into a greener place. By learning how to assess, interpret and manage the environment, you can play your part in reducing the human impact on ecosystems.

During this course, you’ll gain valuable fieldwork experience and be confident with using industry-standard equipment and software. You may use our drones to sample and map air pollution, utilise our large environmental chamber to analyse pollutants, undertake river and soil sampling and analysis and use trail cameras to evaluate mammal populations.

Our career-based assessment methods also compliment your field trip experiences. These include research reports, science reports, restoration plans and case study evaluations, which’ll prepare you for work in the environmental industry.

There’s plenty of opportunities to make new friends. You’ll peer review each other’s work, travel together for field trips and get to join the societies which interest you.

By taking this course, you’ll become an advocate for sustainable practices, moving us towards a responsible and healthier use of Earth’s precious resources.

Placements

After successfully completing your second year, you will have the opportunity to take a professional placement year. This opportunity will demonstrate work-related experiences to potential employers. Previous students have worked in environmental consultancy, working in environmental management and sustainability roles for a company/organisation or gained experience in environmental laboratories.

Fieldwork

Our course includes fully-funded residential fields trips, so you can investigate other environments and cultures. Students have recently explored the environmental impact of historic mining activities in the Brecon Beacons as well as biodiversity conservation and the impact of wildfires in Provence (France).

We also make the most of the region around us. Worcester, on the banks of the River Severn, is the perfect base for fieldwork, with easy access to a diverse range of urban and rural settings, including the Malverns, the Cotswolds, and Birmingham.
