In undertaking these courses, students acquire a valuable range of subject-specific, cognitive and transferable skills. The overall ethos of the School is to assist individual students in their learning in an enthusiastic and supportative way. Our Environmental Biology and Science students find employment in a wide range of careers. These include work in environmental departments of local authorities, water companies, national parks, NRA, RSPB, other environmental agencies, energy companies, lecturing and teaching. Many graduates also go on to study for higher degrees.
Newton Park is an ideal location for environmental study.
