Course Description
Environmental Earth Sciences takes an integrated approach to studying the solid Earth. There are no fixed boundaries between the solid Earth and its environment.Students explore the inter-relationships between the solid Earth and all aspects of its environment, including political, economic and social issues. Conventional subject boundaries are broken to give you an integrated education. You will use principles of geology, physical geography, chemistry, biology, maths and social science, to investigate how the solid Earth affects human society and how human society impacts on the solid Earth. Graduates in Environmental Earth Sciences from UEA are in great demand from industry because of the high esteem in which the School of Environmental Sciences is held in the wider geosciences community and for the levels of laboratory, field and transferable skills acquired during the course.
The Year in Industry programme involves four years of study with the first two years being spent at UEA following the BSc Environmental Earth Sciences programme. The third year is spent on an industrial placement with a relevant scientific placement provider. You will return to UEA for your fourth and final year.
