From studying the environmental effects of human activity to applying scientific knowledge and skills to preserve and restore our natural heritage – Environmental Science seeks solutions to pressing environmental problems.
You will focus on real-world problems, the biological, chemical and physical processes that underlie them, and ways in which humans interact in these issues. You will gain skills in understanding and processing scientific information. You will analyse and model environmental data, and communicate that information, including the risk and uncertainty involved in it, to better preserve and restore our natural environment.

Postgraduate study in Environmental Science focuses on a scientific approach to environmental problem solving in natural and managed environments.
