Course Summary
Sustainable use of the environment’s many resources is an ever growing concern among all of the world’s countries. A BSc in Geography and Environmental Management from Harper Adams University gives you an understanding of how the environment can be managed in a responsible, sustainable manner. It also shows you how to do that whilst still meeting the ever-growing needs of the world’s population.
This is an interdisciplinary degree, and combines an understanding of the world itself with methods for managing it. Residential field courses in your first and fourth years will see that you not only learn about world environments but appreciate them first hand. Of course there are thousands of different environments in even a small country, and a knowledge of geography ensures that you can put these concepts to use in a practical way.
Your third year will be spent in an industrial placement either in the UK or abroad. This will provide something no graduate should be without – real working experience.
