You could, for instance, end up working for government agencies or private companies engaged in environmental protection, protection of water resources, assessment of air, land and water contamination, environmental impact assessment, waste management or the development of environmental policy and environmental management systems.  Ninety-five per cent of our students are in either full time employment or further education six months after graduation (KIS data 2012). Typically over half of our graduates continue in education, studying for higher degrees such as masters or doctorates. Others have gained employment in a diverse range of areas, from the government agencies, oil companies and environmental consultancy companies to aid agencies overseas.
