Environmental Science

About this course

Environmental science is the interdisciplinary study of the Earth's environment: the physical, chemical, biological and human systems that shape it and the ways in which human activity is changing it. It draws on ecology, atmospheric science, geology, chemistry, geography, economics and social science to provide an integrated understanding of environmental problems and potential solutions. In an era of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and resource depletion, environmental scientists have never been more needed, working across research, policy, consultancy and advocacy to understand and address the pressures on natural systems. At the University of Stirling, this four-year degree with a year abroad provides a rigorous scientific education in environmental systems alongside the quantitative and analytical skills that applied environmental work requires.
