The field of Environmental Studies is concerned with measuring and monitoring the environment from both a 'scientific' and a 'social scientific' point of view, and then analysing and evaluating the data obtained. It is driven by the imperative to use knowledge and methods from various sciences and technologies and social and political studies in harmonious way. The education and training will provide you with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of techniques used for research into environmental and socio-economic issues.
Lectures form the core of the course and are supported by extensive practical sessions, a programme of field work, laboratory work and seminars.
The Environmental Studies graduate will therefore be a person with a holistic view of what is required to make a full evaluation of all aspects of the environment.
