BSc Climate Change with a Year in Industry

This four year course follows a similar structure to the BSc Climate Change, but with an additional year spent gaining work experience in an industrial placement. In the first year you will study the earth system and develop your knowledge of relevant sciences. In years two and four you will focus on the scientific subjects required to study the underlying causes of climate change, alongside continuing to develop vital research skills.

Year 1
A series of compulsory modules introduce you to the major global environmental challenges facing mankind, with an emphasis on climate change. Multi-disciplinary modules from the School of Environmental Science enable you to develop the essential analytical skills you will need during further years – including Maths for Scientists and Sustainability in Society.

Year 2
As the course progresses you will be given greater freedom to tailor your course around your own interests, as you choose from a large catalogue of optional modules. Compulsory modules begin to diverge from core science towards the wider implications of climate change.

Year 3 (Year in Industry)
You will spend your third year on an industrial work placement lasting from 9 to 14 months, gaining relevant experience and developing your skills and knowledge. We have established research links throughout the UK and beyond, and we will help you in identifying and competing for appropriate positions.

Year 4
During your final year you will undertake a substantial piece of independent research in a topic that matches your interests.
