With increasing concerns about climate change and the impacts of humans on our planet, there has never been a more important time to study this highly contemporary and engaging course if you want to make a difference. There has never been such a demand for environmental and sustainability experts; this new and exciting course has been created specifically to address how we can manage the environment better with a key focus on sustainable futures. The course has been inspired by leading employers and developed in conjunction with experts working in the environmental sector. Employability skills are therefore at the core of your learning. Employers will want the skills you acquire.

The Environmental Management & Sustainability course will prepare you for a broad range of rewarding careers, including environmental consultancy, environmental management, roles in local government (e.g. environmental services, town, and country planning, climate change development officers), and environmental analysis laboratories. Potential employers include the Environment Agency, Severn Trent Water, environmental consultancies (e.g. AECOM, SLR Consulting, Wildlife Trusts), and waste management companies, but also all companies engaging with environmental management and sustainability. Opportunities to pursue a research career would also be available.
