In this course, you will explore major environmental threats including:
Climate change: you’ll explore how anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are contributing to the climate emergency and what needs to be done to halt and reverse the impacts
Loss of biodiversity: you’ll explore the cause and effect of changes in biodiversity, how this impacts the sustainability of the planet and what needs to be done to conserve and enhance the natural world
Sustainable living: you’ll also look at what makes a sustainable city and how sustainable cities and urban environments balance economic, social, and physical progress with minimal risk to the environment
Environmental degradation and human life: you’ll consider how the degradation of the Earth’s ecosystems is negatively impacting the wellbeing of billions of people, pushing the planet towards a sixth mass species extinction, and risking the economic sustainability and long term future of human societies
The disempowerment of people and nature: change doesn’t happen without firm legislation and policy, but this remains an issue. You’ll investigate what contributes to the gap in implementing the new policy, and the role of public perception in influencing leaders to act
Whilst there are core study components, this is a flexible course that gives you the opportunity to focus on a specialist route, or combine topics for a broader view of environmental sustainability. In addition, the ‘Student-Initiated Module’ in your final year allows you to take the lead and build a module based on your interests, strengths, and career ambitions. In your final year, you will have the option of completing an Independent Study (dissertation) or an Industrial Project, where you can work in the industry on a live brief to help solve a real problem – this could lead to employment upon graduation.
Public interest and awareness of these issues is steadily increasing, but there remains a need for future-focused, bold innovators who can apply their knowledge to tackle the world’s most critical challenges and secure a sustainable future.
