环境社会科学课程是跨部门的，并受益于整个社会科学学院的专业知识。社会科学观点对于理解和解决环境问题至关重要。人类的行为产生了“自然”环境的许多要素，从景观到洪水和饥荒。地方和国家政策以及国际协议规范了公司，政府和家庭的环境实践。社会科学在很大程度上有助于理解什么已被定义为环境问题，以及哪些措施可以最有效地解决这些问题。理学硕士1年全日制，2年兼职，博士学位3年全日制，5年兼职
Environmental Social Science at Kent is a vibrant and multi-disciplinary programme which seeks to understand and seek solutions to the environmental issues facing our global society.<br><br>Overview<br>The Environmental Social Science programmes are interdepartmental and benefit from expertise found across the Faculty of Social Sciences.<br><br>Social science perspectives are crucial to understanding and solving environmental problems. Human behaviour produces many elements of the natural environment, from landscapes to floods and famines. Local and national policies and international agreements regulate the environmental practices of corporations, governments and households. The social sciences have a great deal to contribute to understanding what have become defined as environmental issues, and what measures can most effectively tackle them.<br><br>The multidisciplinary Environmental Social Science programmes draw on the contributions of Anthropology, Conservation and Ecology, Law, Social Policy and Sociology. In each of these disciplines, Kent is very active in research. The programmes therefore build upon a strong base.
