Duration
4 Years
If you want to understand the science behind the world’s most serious environmental and ecological challenges, this is the course for you.
You learn from experts influencing global debates. Topics include sustainable development, endangered species conservation and animal behaviour.
This course includes an integrated Masters year, allowing you to develop advanced research skills and work with one of our research groups.
Outside the classroom, you have the opportunity to explore the South Downs National Park on local field trips, or go on overseas trips to Portugal, Southern Africa, the Red Sea and Ecuador. This – alongside modules on research methods and technologies such as Geographical Information Systems – gives you real-world research experience before you graduate.
