About your course
The BSc (Hons) in Climate and Environment Sciences with Foundation Year will allow students to explore many different aspects of climate change in detail.
About the Foundation Year
The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the ability to study for a degree but don't have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Climate and Environment Sciences honours degree programme. Once you pass the Foundation Year you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).
