Program Overview

Be a future changer by studying a programme that gives you the skills and experience to make a difference to our world's biggest issues today

With the increasing threats of climate change and pollution, we are now more than ever needing to take action that will change the future of our world for the better. Environmental Science is being pushed to the forefront of the minds of policy makers, industry leaders, scientists, and the general public.

Study Environmental Science BSc at Queen Mary - the only London-based Russell Group university that offers this programme - and gain critical understanding of environmental problems, before then researching and implementing your own solutions. You’ll work with passionate industry leading professionals and scientists, assisting in their projects while also learning the skills to develop your own.

This interdisciplinary degree draws on the expertise of two schools – Geography and Biological and Chemical Sciences – to offer a distinctive programme.

You’ll explore themes such as ecology, diversity and evolution, conservation, environmental pollution, river science and environmental engineering. In the process you’ll develop advanced practical skills by analysing samples and simulating environmental processes in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

Explore the world with us on fieldwork in places such as the Netherlands, Canada, Croatia and South Africa, as well as UK-based fieldwork, including opportunities right here in London.

Option modules in the second and final years allow you to direct your study towards your aims and interests. In the final year you’ll design your own project with guidance from our experts, developing the skills to become a researcher in your own right.
