At Brunel, you’ll develop your scientific skills in the classroom, laboratory, and fieldwork. You’ll attend residential field trips in the UK and abroad. Our current trips take students to Dorset and Tenerife.
Your first year will bring together many different disciplines. You’ll use physical, chemical and biological knowledge to develop an understanding of the Earth’s environment.
Your course is based on the 15 “most wanted skills” identified from a national employer’s survey by the Natural Environment Research Council. This means that in addition to studying scientific topics, you’ll learn to use computer programs such as GIS, you’ll perform data analysis and be trained in areas such as public engagement, communication, leadership and teamwork.
You'll also have the option to carry out a placement as part of your degree, giving you the experience to create a stand-out CV. Our Environmental Sciences BSc (Hons) offers a unique compressed degree where you can carry out two placements within your three-year degree during the summer vacations, where you’ll earn a graduate-level salary. You can also carry out a one-year placement between years 2 and 3, as part of a four-year degree.
