With this BSc Environmental Management and Sustainability degree, you will explore the scientific and socio-economic issues behind sound environmental management, while developing your professional and scientific skills.<br/><br/>Land is facing increasing conflicts related to its management for different purposes. These include food production, renewable energy, protection of soil and water resources, nature conservation, urban development and the provision of space for recreation and tourism.<br/><br/>Taught by the Department of Sustainable Land Management, our BSc Environmental Management and Sustainability degree enables you to build on your interests and prepare for a career in this area. <br/><br/>During this degree you will learn about the technical, scientific and socioeconomic aspects of environmental issues, and develop methods for tackling them. The course focuses on the needs of employers and you will develop your professional skills alongside your scientific knowledge, using exercises such as mock consultancies. Additionally, you will carry out a short industry placement and have the chance to study abroad.<br/><br/>Youll be able to tailor this course to suit your specific interests by selecting from a range of optional modules. You will be taught by staff from a number of Schools and Departments across the University, covering subjects such as human geography, environmental science, ecology, economics and international development.<br/><br/>The University of Reading has been at the forefront of research into sustainability and the environment for many decades, and you will be based in a School ranked 11th in the world for Agriculture and Forestry (QS World Ranking by Subject, 2022).

The course includes two compulsory residential field courses, which will give you exposure to the management of sustainability in coastal and urban environments in the UK and Netherlands.
