Course description

The BA (Hons) Environmental Management is a three-year degree programme about managing environmental resources and the interactions of human societies with them. To do this we need a good understanding of the environment and its many interactive processes, and of the wider environmental contexts within which interventions take place as societies develop and move forward. Understanding both the scientific principles and the relevant policy frameworks are essential if we are to change thinking about the environment and our behaviours towards it, as we aim to live in a more sustainable way.
