    Course Summary

    The University of East Anglia’s International Development and the Environment BSc (with Overseas Experience) is a great way to prepare yourself to work in any of the public and private sector roles linking the environment to industrial and social development. This could mean developing an expertise in resource management, rural livelihood improvement, sustainable development or a host of other applications.

    This three year degree program includes 12 to 16 weeks in overseas work placement. This will not only give you invaluable experience actually working in your field, it will allow you to gain a truly global perspective on the issue, something that would be all but impossible if all of your experience was from a single country or region.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
