Course programme

The programme is designed around a combination of compulsory core modules, as well as opportunities to choose optional modules that allow you to follow areas of personal interest through our specialist pathways.

Your first year provides you with the core skills and knowledge in your field. From year 2, you will have the opportunity to take modules in a chosen specialist pathway. Each of the pathways focuses on a particular aspect of your overall degree, providing specialist training for employment in that sector:

Business and Sustainability examines the interactions between these two spheres and equips you for a career in corporate social and environmental responsibility.

Energy and the Build Environment focuses on transport and energy and develops skills for a career in policy and planning.

Natural Resources and Biodiversity takes an interdisciplinary approach to biodiversity and natural resources management, preparing you for a career in environmental consultancy.

Earth Systems gives you in-depth knowledge of climate change, pollution and regulation, mixing social and natural science.

You will spend your third year studying abroad at one of partner universities. The marks you receive are translated to Leeds equivalents and count towards your final degree classification.
