Course overview
You’ll explore the finer details of ecosystems, as well as human interaction with and impact on the environment.
Develop your expertise and knowledge through a flexible approach to a subject that considers the long-term sustainability of local environments and the planet as a whole. Through classroom, laboratory and practical field study, you’ll understand a range of topics as you enhance your skills, from change and impact evaluation and environmental systems, to conservation, biodiversity, and renewables.
As an Environmental Scientist, you’ll become expert in the ways that Earth’s environments – the atmosphere, ocean and crust – shape opportunities for life on Earth. You’ll learn how current and emerging global challenges, such as climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, arise. We’ll prepare you to use your knowledge and skills as a graduate, defining and applying solutions for a sustainable future.
You’ll take a hands-on, applied approach, making extensive use of our laboratories and 360-hectare campus, in fieldwork and in your own independent research project. We work closely with employers - particularly in our institutional specialisms of land management and agriculture – embedding work experience and real-world business briefs into your degree to boost your future career.
Hartpury has a great track record in providing a positive student experience. You’ll benefit from all the facilities of a University, in a specialist institution with smaller cohorts, where we can personalise your support and guidance.
