Environmental science is a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and managing the world in which we live. Environmental scientists are concerned with understanding spatial patterns in physical, biological and chemical phenomena in the Earth’s system at local, regional and global scales. Environmental scientists find appropriate solutions to environmental problems by assessing, reporting and quantifying environmental risks. They work in areas as diverse as contaminated land assessment and remediation, natural resource management, practical conservation, pollution mitigation, ecosystem service assessment, environmental monitoring, mapping and consultancy. Our degrees in Environmental Science will give you the skills and expertise you need to address the world’s greatest challenges in climate change, such as biodiversity, sustainability and environmental decision-making.

With its history of marine, earth and environmental industries, Cornwall is an exceptional place in which to study issues related to the environment. The county is a perfect living laboratory which offers a diverse range of marine and terrestrial habitats, a wealth of natural resources and creative and resilient communities. Our Cornwall Campus presents a distinctive, intimate and vibrant environment. The University’s Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) is located on the Cornwall Campus and further inspires the research and teaching in Environmental Science. The ESI leads cutting-edge interdisciplinary research into solutions to problems of environmental change; in so doing it enhances people’s lives by improving their relationships with the environment. Students join a community of experts working at the forefront of knowledge creation and innovative application, and

benefit from interaction with cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Students and staff take advantage of outstanding teaching and research facilities and our links with the renewable energy sector, conservation and environment sector, and energy policy decision makers.

Jobs in environmental sectors across the globe are likely to increase in the future as population growth intensifies the demand for resources and emerging global environmental policies place a question mark over the longevity of carbon-hungry energy supplies. A growing body of scientific evidence, with significant contribution from staff at the

University of Exeter, is highlighting the fragile future of biodiversity, water resources, food security and natural carbon stocks under global climate change. Climate change is acknowledged by scientists, governments, businesses and social, environmental and economic organisations as one of the greatest challenges of our time. Our changing environment presents a fascinating and urgent set of challenges and opportunities for today’s practitioners, policy makers and researchers. A degree in environmental science will place you in a unique position to capitalise on the growing number of jobs in the environmental sector once you graduate.

Single HonoursMSci/BSc Environmental ScienceOur Environmental Science programmes are the University’s flagship environmental degrees enabling you to learn the science behind the Earth’s amazing complexity and its environmental processes. Taught at our Cornwall Campus near Falmouth, these undergraduate programmes are at the cutting-edge of current thinking in the environmental field: you will acquire practical and theoretical skills and knowledge from world leading research experts in a range of environmental disciplines. Our mission is to train you in measuring, evaluating and making decisions about environmental issues. From day one of your degree you will take a hands-on approach to the collection and analysis of environmental data in the field and laboratory.

The programmes will broaden your horizons by enabling you to learn about environmental processes at a range of scales from local issues affecting South West England to those with global impacts. You’ll engage with issues relating to climate change, its impact on the world and efforts to mitigate its effect. You

will uncover the complexities of the legal processes which underpin environmental decision making and discover how the law facilitates the enforcement of environmental regulation. You will benefit from interaction with cutting-edge interdisciplinary research through the programme’s close relationship with the University’s Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI).

Throughout the programmes you will develop a wide range of practical skills to increase your employability, working with satellite data and using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to guide real-world environmental decision making. You will have the opportunity to work and learn in inspiring places where you will gain practical field experience and learn more about the world, yourself and others.

A unique aspect of our programmes is the inclusion of law in all years of study. We believe that this will give you a sound understanding about the legal framework underpinning issues of environmental protection and is a necessary component of putting science into practice in the environmental jobs sector. A real strength

of our graduates will be their ability to connect a fundamental understanding about environmental law with conceptual approaches to environmental policy and practice.

Our programme structure allows you to pursue your interests and shape your ambitions. In addition to studying a number of core modules you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a selection of optional modules in related disciplines and undertake a primary research project in your preferred area. Importantly, throughout these programmes you will gain insights from industry leaders in the environmental sector and engage with other relevant organisations through field trips embedded in modules and work placement opportunities offered by the University.

The programme is designed to give you the essential skills that employers demand, while allowing you to pursue your interests in the wider subject area. Please note that modules may be subject to change. For up-to-date details of the programme and modules, please check www.exeter.ac.uk/environmentalscience

How your degree is structuredDegrees are divided into core and optional modules giving you the flexibility to structure your degree according to your specific interests. Individual modules are worth 15 or 30 credits each and full-time undergraduates need to take 120 credits in each year. Within Environmental Science, in addition to the core modules, you can choose from an extensive range of options, a few examples of which are shown at the back of this brochure.

Year 1 Your first year will provide you with a solid scientific grounding in themes and topics of the integrated environmental sciences. Most (but not all) of the modules are compulsory because we believe that you must gain a solid grounding in key themes and topics in order to progress to higher levels.

Year 2In your second year you have a little more flexibility to explore your interests beyond the core skills based modules. You will gain a more detailed understanding of key issues and practical training in implementing environmental science strategies. You’ll study a range of core modules and choose from a selection of optional modules.

Year 3In your third year you’ll gain specialist training in the skills necessary to acquire jobs in the environmental sector. You will have an opportunity to specialise in your preferred subjects through an independent research dissertation and a choice of optional modules.

* Please note that the field class location may be subject to change.

Year 4 (MSci only)For students enrolled on the MSci, the final year provides an opportunity to work on a project focused on a specialised area of environmental professional practice or academic research. You have the choice of carrying out a detailed consultancy report, where possible in collaboration with an industrial partner, or a more traditional research project aligned with one of our leading research groups. The remainder of your time will be spent studying advanced research methods, and on a two-week intensive field course in which your scientific field-research, debating and presentation skills will be further developed.

learning and teachingYou’ll be taught by internationally recognised research-active staff through a range of methods including lectures, seminars, tutorials, field work and laboratory sessions. Throughout the programmes emphasis is placed on developing your practical skills, grounded by sound theoretical knowledge. We embed important environmental science skills within modules, including GIS, remote sensing and data analysis. We include a wide range of local, national and international trips and you will engage in field work of all varieties and in many different environments throughout your programme of study.

At the University of Exeter we have developed novel methods of interactive teaching, which you will benefit from in the Environmental Science degree. From your first year you will engage with hands-on enquiries using databases, maps and satellite data, developing GIS tools to help you understand the local, regional, national and global picture of the natural world and all of its processes. Lecture material will be global in scope but practical work will build from a local focus in your first year to a global perspective by your final year. By the end of your degree you will be able to use spatial datasets to answer environmental questions important to the future of our planet.

As a student at the Cornwall Campus, you will benefit from excellent student:staff ratios, small group tutorials and accessible staff. In all years you will be offered personal tutoring in small groups with an academic member of staff. You’ll have 10-15 hours of direct contact time per week with your tutors (depending on the modules you choose to follow) and you will be expected to undertake extensive independent and self-motivated study as part of your degree. You should expect your total workload to average about 40 hours per week during term time. You will learn to work independently

and become a scientific thinker during this programme – learning these essential skills is not easy but we will be on-hand to guide you throughout the programme. Your independent study will culminate in an individual project (dissertation) in your final year where you will research an environmental subject of your choice.

AssessmentAssessment methods vary depending on your choice of modules, but are likely to include exam and coursework-based assessment. You must pass your first year assessment in order to progress to the second year. The assessments in the second and final years all contribute to your final degree classification.

For full details of the assessment criteria for each module, check the relevant subject areas on our website at www.exeter.ac.uk/environmentalscience

Study abroadOnce you are studying at the University of Exeter, you will have the opportunity to apply for a place to study with a number of international exchange partner universities. This year abroad, taken between your second and third years of study, will be spent at an English speaking university outside of Europe. To qualify for application for an international exchange place, we would expect you to have successfully completed the first year of your studies with an average mark of at least 60 per cent. Places are limited and will be awarded on competitive basis.

Field workWe believe that students learn a lot by getting field experience in the natural environment and we exploit our unique position in West Cornwall to our advantage. As a student on one of our Environmental

Science degrees you will engage in field work of all varieties and in many different environments. Led by expert staff, field trips are embedded into some modules during your degree to give you a first-hand understanding of the subject.

We begin in the first year with a range of local field excursions, exploring ecological and environmental principles in West Penwith, Cornwall. Our main field trip in this year includes an overnight trip to West Penwith where you will be introduced to the fantastic ecology, geomorphology and environmental landscapes. In addition, you will get hands-on with a two-day volunteering exercise with local environmental organisations, learning practical environmental stewardship and working with local groups.

In your third year we take you further afield to think about bigger issues in environmental science. You’ll attend a residential field class to California* where you will gain field surveying experience in the Mojave Desert and coastal areas. This is our flagship environmental science field trip where you’ll learn first-hand about management of soils, water, vegetation and people in different ecosystems and climatic zones.

By your third year you will be an expert in field surveying techniques and you’ll be able to plan your own field research using the skills you have developed in previous years. You’ll get a chance to put your skills to good use in an independent research dissertation where you’ll be supervised by an academic staff member to undertake your own piece of scientific work, following your interests and collecting and analysing new data. By the end of your programme you will have gathered a suite of unique field working skills that will place you in a strong position to move into environmental employment.

*Please note that the field class location may be subject to change.

Page 7: Environmental Science brochure 2014

A degree in Environmental Science from the University of Exeter will equip you with a wide range of skills suitable for progressing onto further study or employment. These skills, highly sought after by employers, include: data gathering; information retrieval; data analysis; problem solving; project planning and management; organising and communicating information; report production and presentation; plus the ability to work effectively on your own and as part of a team.

As jobs in the environmental sector increase there is an emerging need for skilled graduates to feed into this industry, bringing sound scientific understanding of environmental issues, coupled with practical training in how to solve or mitigate environmental problems. For example, environmental consultancy is increasing in prominence globally and in the UK, the skills of environmental scientists are required to implement EU legislation at local and regional levels in relation to sustainable development, rural and urban regeneration and access to the countryside.

There are also many jobs for environmental scientists with an understanding of remote sensing data and information management in GIS. In addition, the UK is currently one of the poorest waste managers in Europe, so waste disposal and recycling are likely to remain important issues for both householders and businesses over the next few years. There is an emerging market for graduates who understand how to value ecosystem goods and services and this degree will equip you with the necessary skills to tap into this market. Furthermore there are new openings for environmental scientists in the water industry, where sustainable management of water supplies is a growing concern. This list is by no means exhaustive: a degree in environmental science will place you at the forefront of a discipline where resource management and environmental decision-making are critical to the future health and function of planet Earth.

The University of Exeter has an excellent reputation with graduate recruiters and our students and graduates compete very successfully in the employment market. On campus we offer a careers advisory service which provides high quality careers information and guidance to all students as well as online facilities such as a CV creator and advice on application and interview techniques.

We also offer the Exeter Award and the Exeter Leaders Award. These schemes encourage you to participate in employability related workshops, skills events, volunteering and employment which will contribute to your career decision-making skills and success in the employment market. Whatever path you want to follow after graduating, we’re here to help and support you with all of your career and employability needs.
