Our extensive field equipment includes a range of portable monitoring and analytical instrumentation (e.g. for soil, water and air pollution monitoring) whilst specialist IT software, including GIS and ecological statistical packages, allow you to analyse and model your findings. Our estates also include social spaces for our student community. You will examine current natural world and urban case studies in order to apply what you have learnt to real world examples and you can further enhance your employability with the opportunity for a semester-based or year long placement or period of study abroad. Working as a team with your peers, you will liaise with external partners to solve a current sustainability or environmental problem. You can also tailor your final year dissertation to examine a research area that affects an external organisation. You will learn from research active staff who will inspire you in their subject, and who truly believe in working to provide solutions to the environmental problems that are affecting our planet. You will be learning from those at the forefront of the subject. The teaching team includes staff with previous experience working in industry, consultancy and for high profile organisations in both teaching and research positions.
