Sustainability, conservation and protecting the environment are now of prime importance. This course equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to address environmental concerns not by studying environmental issues alone, but by considering them in the appropriate social, economic and management context.
Throughout the course you will develop a grounding in the theory and practice of environmental management. It will give you a sound understanding of environmental impacts, and ways of managing and minimising them. You'll learn about environmental science, energy use, waste management and resource economics. You'll also have a wide choice of elective subjects, including energy and the environment, marine environments: management and protection, sustainable tourism in rural communities, leadership in countryside activities and ecological surveying.
