Drawing on a range of disciplines including literature, history, philosophy, and visual culture, this course examines the complex relationships between humans and their environments.

This course is ideal for those interested in pursuing careers in fields such as environmental policy, conservation, and sustainability. With a focus on practical applications and real-world case studies, students will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to make a positive impact in their chosen fields.
Bath Spa University is an ideal choice for those interested in Environmental Humanities due to its strong reputation for interdisciplinary research and teaching. The university's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility makes it an excellent place to learn and grow as a scholar.
This transformative course is very much yours to mould to your own needs.
Core modules offer intensive introductions to new disciplinary perspectives, through critical focus on key concepts such as "the Anthropocene", the idea that Earth has now entered a new geological era, indelibly shaped by human activities. Multi-disciplinary research methods training will equip you to proceed to doctoral study in either humanities or social sciences, should you wish to do so.
Optional modules enable you to learn new approaches while also consolidating existing expertise in subjects such as geography, ecocriticism and literary studies, philosophy, ethics, environmental studies, or conservation. In addition, there are elective modules in creative writing, and your final project may be either a conventional written dissertation or a creative project. Previous examples of the latter have included projects based around poetry, photography and songwriting.
Recognised Bachelor's degree or higher and evidence of two years of work experience; or successful completion of equivalent courses; or satisfactory preparation for the course through informal or non-formal learning and/or professional experiences subject to the approval of the Academic Chair
