环境科学硕士

该学位是由环境科学研究所（Institute of Environmental Sciences）认可的专业。行业，政府和社会比以往任何时候都更需要环境科学家。环境科学学位汇集了来自广泛学科的信息，以探索一些最重要的环境问题，例如气候变化，污染，保护和粮食安全。该学位的广泛基础是生物学（使您了解生物体，环境和群落），化学（使您了解许多自然环境过程和污染），地球科学（为您提供全球过程的背景知识） ，以及土地和水资源管理。这些学科领域的结合，再加上许多实践会议和实地考察，创造了既有趣又有益的学位。硕士（荣誉）
There has never been a better time to study our Environmental Science degree. The world is facing hugely important environmental issues, and the need to solve these will bring considerable opportunities, as well as challenges. Completing this degree will give you a high-level Masters qualification in this topic, which will put you in a very select group of people.<br>Environmental Science brings together a number of disciplines to look at these environmental issues in a comprehensive way, and explores how technology, research, behavioural change, regulations and a robust scientific approach can be brought together to find solutions.<br>This degree covers biology (giving you an understanding of organisms, their environments and their communities), chemistry (providing an understanding of many natural environmental processes and pollution), earth science (giving you a background in global processes), and land and water resource management. This combination of subject areas, combined with many practical sessions and field trips, creates a degree that is both fascinating and rewarding.<br>Bangor has to be one of the best-placed universities for you to study Environmental Science. We have access to a wide range of natural environments ranging from the coast, to the varied landscape of Snowdonia National Park with its long history of multiple land use, mining and quarrying. Field trips are central throughout this degree. As well as local trips, we have residential trips further afield.<br>We have close links with local, national and international organisations that employ environmental scientists, helping us to ensure that our degree is relevant and up to date.<br>This degree is accredited by the Institution of Environmental Science (IES). This will improve your employability and you will receive benefits such as a monthly newsletter and magazine with opportunities to publish articles current issues, news about jobs, and free or reduced entry to relevant events. It is also the first step on an environmental career path which could take you to Chartered Status.<br>For this 4-year Master of Environmental Science (MEnvSci) degree, Years 1 and 2 are the same as the BSc degree, but you wont undertake an Honours Project in Year 3 - instead youll choose more optional modules. You will complete a Masters-level independent research project on a topic of your choice. You will undertake a work placement of at least 4 weeks at a location of your choice. You will also undertake modules which focus on the importance of environmental sustainability for modern business and Strategic Environmental Management, which will give you professionally recognised skills.<br>Placement Year and International Experience Year Available<br><br>Careers<br>Following this degree will give you what employers are looking for: excellence in a range of subject-specific and generic skills, and experience. Few students graduate with both, meaning that there will be considerable career opportunities. Your higher-level qualification will make you attractive to employers a wide range of advisory agencies, regulators, consultancies, local and national government, and in research and development, both locally and overseas. In terms of industries, the green economy is rapidly growing, and there will be opportunities in sectors such as renewable energy, waste management, nuclear, construction, agriculture, and transport. This course also provides a good basis for teaching and work in the media. Your higher-level qualification may consider postgraduate study e.g., a professional MSc course, or research leading to a PhD. There have never been so many job opportunities in Environmental Science - gaining this degree will put you in a good position to secure one of those.
