W e encourage students to participate, questioning our information and contributing original ideas. This allows us to combine lectures with other activities such as practical and laboratory work, group work, workshops and hands-on computing sessions. This course is run by our own lecturers, ensuring that the skills covered are appropriately themed to fit into your degree programme. Students produce posters, web pages, reports, newsletters and reports as part of the coursework for this course. Thematic Studies also acts as a tutorial session for each student, providing a weekly opportunity to meet with a designated personal tutor.
Lectures can be a very effective way of passing information and ideas to a group.

In Environmental Studies and especially in Environmental Science, training in safe laboratory techniques is an important vocational skill. Field courses and Fieldwork Fieldwork makes our subject 'real' - whether you are studying resources, the environment or geography, you are interested in and concerned with the 'real world'. We go near and far. We also have a well-established overseas venue of the Maltese Islands .
