University of Suffolk, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Love nature? Care about the future? Concerned about the fate of the Earth and humanity? Interested in sustainability? Want to know more about renewable energy? Want to gain practical employability skills? If you answered yes to any of these, this is the course for you. Climate, energy, resource, and ecological uncertainty define the beginning of the 21st century. The FdSc in Environment and Sustainable Energy is a unique and multi-disciplinary program aimed at individuals with a strong interest in the environment, conservation, and sustainability science, but with a desire to investigate and understand the carbon economy, climate change, non-carbon, and renewable technologies, and the interactions and impacts these have on the climate, ecosystems, ecology, wildlife, and human populations. Furthermore, the course offers students the opportunity to develop the employability skill-sets not normally available until higher level study; including GIS (Geographic Information Systems and Science), Data Analysis and Statistics, NGO practice, and management in a unique collaboration with the World Land Trust and the opportunity to investigate the feasibility of non-carbon alternatives to meet current and future energy needs. Furthermore, we are offering the chance to obtain industry skills like rope access and sea survival, which are transferable across the environmental and energy sectors.
