Learn how to monitor environmental change – developing practical, lab-based skills and in-the-field techniques. This course gives you a global perspective on environmental issues along with industry-relevant skills.
You’ll analyse samples working with pollution kits. Carry out data analysis – using software such as RStudio and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) – and discover how to present your findings. And explore how to conduct environmental impact assessments and understand their outcomes.
Our programme teaches you to construct and test hypotheses related to environmental issues. You’ll enhance your qualitative and quantitative research skills, learning how to conduct surveys. Consider the political and legal consequences of environmental change and management. And develop insight to suit your interests and career ambitions in your research project.
Trips within the diverse surroundings of our location on the Humber Estuary give you the chance to explore environmental impacts in the field. You’ll have the chance to attend guest lectures from ecological consultants working in the industry, too.
