Environmental Management

Environmental Management is a field that is both diverse and dynamic. As such, this programme is designed to allow candidates to not only focus on what we can do to manage changes at the individual level, but also addresses the broader management challenges and learning to affect change across policy, planning, and community level behaviours. In addition, you will have opportunity to gain knowledge and practical experience of the biological, physical and ecological systems including awareness of their socio-economic and political contexts with exposure to some of the UK’s leading technology in this field. The programme has transferrable skills embedded within its approach, and delivers a very wide range of vocational skills and knowledge in specialist sectors of the industry. There are many potential career pathways available following completion of this degree award including environmental consultancy, environmental education, public relations and community engagement, environmental analysis and mitigation implementation, environmental engineering and technology, sustainable environmental management systems, and environmental policy analysis as just a few examples delivered within organisations such as SEPA, Scottish Water, Scottish Renewables, Zero Waste Scotland, or the Scottish Government. In addition, students can consider progression onto further post-graduate study in related areas both within the UK and abroad. Programme Learning Objectives:
