Environmental Studies enables you to gain a deep and well informed insight into the environment, and the scientific processes that control and affect itWe believe the future of research lies in breaking down traditional barriers between academic disciplines so the bigger problems of the 21st century can be considered from human as well as physical perspectives. We have a number of interdisciplinary research themes, which fit closely with international research priorities.
