Ecological sciences study how organisms interact with each other, as well as their physical, chemical and biological environments.<br>Environmental science is an integrated science. We apply biological, chemical and physical sciences to understand the natural environment and how it is changing.<br>Understanding both is vital for managing changing environments for a more sustainable future.<br>Our programme has a strong focus on data-driven innovation and computational analysis. Demand is growing for these data skills across a range of employment sectors.<br><br>We will teach you how to:<br><br>understand environmental issues<br>design robust strategies for sample collection<br>make ecological and environmental measurements<br>critically evaluate ecological data sets using modern statistic analysis<br>measure progress and efficiency of conservation and environmental management plans<br>use enhanced planning and management skills to develop solutions to environmental problems<br>understand the science to contribute to difficult management questions and policy<br>be aware of conflicts between humans and the natural world - and how human pressures are changing our planet<br>We also have an extensive network of experts contributing to this degree. They can help you gain valuable real-world experience to produce meaningful change. You will have valuable networking and potential employment opportunities.
