Environmental and Analytical Science BSc (Hons)

University of Huddersfield

Understanding the impact of human activities on our environment is essential to protecting it for future generations. The Environmental and Analytical Science BSc(Hons) degree at Huddersfield gives you a comprehensive understanding of Earth's systems and equips you with the skills and knowledge of an analytical scientist. * You'll have the chance to study a range of subjects including biogeography, inorganic and organic chemistry, earth processes, landscape and fluvial systems, climate science and sustainability before specialising in your final year. * In the third year of the course you’ll have the opportunity to benefit from a work placement. This could help you to gain relevant real-world experience and give you a head start in your chosen career. In the final year you’ll have the chance to develop and hone your independent research skills as part of the research project module. * We also firmly believe in ‘learning through doing’ and since fieldwork is an integral part of any environmental scientists training, we’ve embedded field-trips throughout all years of study. * All our teaching staff are educated to doctoral level and have expertise in a range of environmental and analytical subject areas. Additional costs: Residential field courses and one day field trips are funded by the University. Residential field courses will cost up to £150, (optional overseas trips may incur slightly higher costs depending on duration and destination). By its very nature the study of environmental and analytical science entails being outside on fieldwork. Participants on field trips should be adequately clothed in terms of personal clothing (wind and waterproof jacket/trousers) plus appropriate footwear. We hold a limited stock of waterproof garments that students can use but we do not supply walking boots. Students enrolling on our courses should be prepared to purchase their own walking boots. The cost of boots varies depending on their intended use but if you budget between £60-£100 you should be able to get a good pair which will last for the duration of your degree.
