BSc Environmental Management with Professional Placement is a three-year degree studying the Earths natural resources, the way in which human societies interact with them and ways in which they can be sustainably managed. <br/><br/>Understanding both scientific principles and relevant policy frameworks is essential if we are to address global environmental challenges including climate change and sustainable development. <br/><br/>The course has a strong focus on practice, and you will study environmental processes and their management by combining small group, classroom-based learning with fieldwork. <br/><br/>By the time you graduate, you will have an advanced understanding of environmental systems and processes, and the policies and practices involved in their management. <br/><br/>You will also have gained a wide range of practice-based skills, which enhance your employability including the design and implementation of ecological surveys, conservation management, environmental appraisal and audit, environmental impact assessment, project management and professional report writing.<br/><br/>Manchester is a great place to study environmental management; it is a major UK city undergoing rapid urban change, which provides an ideal base for experiencing the challenge of balancing urban development pressures with their environmental impacts. <br/><br/>Manchester is also ideally placed for you to learn about a wide variety of rural environments, including three spectacular National Parks, areas of intensive farming and impressive coastlines. <br/><br/>The city and its surrounding environments are important resources for field teaching across your three years of study.
