This course focus on the subject from a social science rather than a natural science perspective, and, taking advantage of the School’s strength across the social sciences, consider the different takes on the environment different disciplinary perspectives offer. The BSc Environment and Development programme will challenge you to examine pressing real-world problems and proposed solutions. Taught by leading international experts through research-informed teaching, you will discuss the key debates in environment and development and explore the nature, drivers and politics of sustainable and unsustainable development. You will develop a critical understanding of processes of environmental change as they relate to human wellbeing and development, and gain the broader skills needed for environment and development policy and analysis. Recent graduates have gone on to work in all areas of environmental policy and economics at the local, national and international level, whether in the public sector for government departments and agencies, in the private sector for industry and environmental/management consultancies, or in the NGO sector for pressure groups and think tanks. A number of recent graduates have also gone on to further study at graduate level.
