Environment BSc (Hons) Environmental Management
What’s it about?
Environmental Management aims to provide training in the design and operation of the mechanisms that are used to respond to, and limit, impacts made by humans and organisations on the environment.
You will examine how these activities impact on the planet and how to improve and reduce them.
What will I learn?
You will look at the mechanisms used by organisations, local and national governments and the European Union. Strong emphasis is placed on the legal, political and economic structures and systems that are used by governmental and individual organisations to combat and reduce a wide range of environmental problems.
Year 1 lays the foundations of field and laboratory work, and builds up your knowledge of the human environment and environmental processes. At year 2 you will take a combination of modules relating to the environment and your final year allows you to specialise further.
Visits are made to a waste management company or energy supplier to see environmental management in operation at work.
Modules include: • Corporate Environments and Management Systems
• Environmental Sciences • Law, Government and Environment • Water Resources and Ecology • IT and Data Reporting • Environmental Noise • Implementing Environmental Management Practice in SMEs
• Town Planning and Development Control • Environmental Protection • Environmental Management Systems for Corporate Organisations
• Cities: Planning Form and Environments • Climate Change and Carbon Management
