Environmental Science with a Foundation Year

About this course

Environmental science is the study of the natural world and how human activities are changing it. It draws on chemistry, biology, geology, geography, and ecology to understand the complex systems that regulate Earth's climate, oceans, soils, and biodiversity, and to assess the consequences of pollution, resource extraction, land-use change, and global warming. The discipline is both rigorously scientific and deeply concerned with the practical challenge of living more sustainably on a finite planet. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year programme begins with a foundation year that allows you to build or consolidate the scientific knowledge needed to progress onto the full degree. The foundation year can be tailored to your interests, with options spanning physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the environment or a stronger emphasis on human geography and social dimensi
