Course summary

Planet Earth is the only one we can live on, so it needs to be looked after. This subject teaches students how to approach the many challenges we will face in the coming years. Teaching and learning take advantage of a wide range of approaches including lectures, interactive class discussions, individual guided study (involving the wide-scale use of ‘flexible learning guides’) and open-ended study. Practical and fieldwork form a very important part of the course and students undertake some laboratory-based practical work as well as up to four days of fieldwork.
