About this course
Another much sought after discipline in an ever changing landscape. Environmental science crosses many subject boundaries and we provide a programme which benefits from an entirely multidisciplinary and research based approach. You will develop an understanding of environmental processes and systems and gain skills in a range of ecological survey techniques through practical classes and field programmes. Topics covered include key environmental principles such as atmospheric, climate, soil and water sciences, biogeochemistry, conservation biology, ecology, environmental modelling, geospatial mapping and technologies, and sustainable development. Your final year research project will utilise and further advance these skills and you will also benefit from gaining knowledge and practical experience of issues and techniques applicable both to Southeast Asia and global environments.
Total Course Fees
