In 1993, the Science Department initiated a network of European universities whose activities are based on the theme of 'environment'. This network, funded by the European Union Socrates programme, now includes universities in eleven countries of Europe. If you would like to know more about the activities of the network, press the button. Travel possibilities for undergraduate students. Under the notion of 'environmental studies', studies taking joint and single honours degrees in science or environmental science can travel to one of eleven countries in Europe, usually in the second half of their second year.
Students take courses at the host university and bring their grades back home.
It shows motivation and initiative. It is the experience of the Department that students who have travelled usually get higher final grades than if they had stayed at home. Staff members can also get financial support to travel across the network for periods of up to two weeks. Back to Science page.
