Other environment-related courses build on this understanding of the natural world from a social science perspective. These environment-related courses include some economic analysis, particularly the Applied Environmental Economics course.Graduate destinations:Recent graduates have gone on to work in all areas of environmental policy and economics at the local, national and international level, whether in the public sector for government departments and agencies, in the private sector for industry and environmental/management consultancies, or in the NGO sector for pressure groups and think tanks.
