Environment and Sustainability with Professional Placement Year Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) or Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BA/BSc (H)

TThe BSc/BA Environment & Sustainability degree will give you the opportunity to make a difference in the environmental sector. You can study by choosing to follow either a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) route. During your first and second years all students will study the same modules and then during your third year you will choose which route you wish to follow.

The key differences between the two pathways are that the BSc degree focuses more on the physical and natural science aspects, with attention given to technology, innovation and environmental management. In contrast, the BA degree is designed for those students with more interest in the social sciences and humanities, who are interested in the  human, social, economic and cultural aspects of the environment and sustainability.

The BSc Environment & Sustainability will take advantage of the employment ‘environmental’ gap mentioned previously whereas the BA Environment & Sustainability will focus on the roles of people and society in solving environmental problems, giving more attention to the ‘social’ element of sustainability, alongside the environmental and economic.
