Environmental Sciences

University of East Anglia UEA

**Overview****Taught by world-leading researchers, this highly flexible degree programme will allow you to explore how the physical, chemical and biological components of the natural environment function and how they're impacted by, and affect, our society, politics and culture**. Our Environmental Sciences programme explores questions such as: How can we tackle the climate and biodiversity crises? What are the best strategies for achieving Net Zero? How are our oceans and rivers changing? What physical processes drive our weather? What happens inside an erupting volcano? How can we transform our energy systems and achieve greater sustainability in our lifestyles? The environment supports all aspects of our daily life but is also the source of some of the most complex and wide-ranging challenges facing humanity. The need for environmental scientists who can help us respond to these challenges and make a difference at local and global scales has never been greater. This degree will help you become one of these essential people. At UEA, you’ll conduct experiments in our state-of-the-art laboratories, and develop highly valued transferable skills in data analysis, spatial visualisation and science communication. You'll gain important field skills and have the exciting opportunity to embark on national and international fieldwork in places such as Greece, Spain, Scotland, Swaziland, and Peru. Upon graduating, you'll be a highly trained environmental scientist, well-equipped to take up rewarding positions across the public and private sectors where you can provide real world solutions to today’s environmental challenges.
