Environmental Science

Key programme benefits to future students

* More stringent environmental requirements are being placed on industry and community in areas such as energy usage, waste minimisation, waste management, recycling, water and air quality. Consequently, there is a strong demand for graduates with a scientific understanding of environmental and health and safety issues, together with a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment.



Key Fact: Students may be eligible for 90-100% funding for this programme under the HCI government initiative.
