Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Environmental Science] From University College Cork

Environmental issues such as climate change, conserving biodiversity, management of waste and natural resources, production of energy and protecting human health are now high on the agenda of all governments, resulting in more stringent regulations and standards. This in turn has created a greater need for knowledgeable and appropriately trained Environmental Scientists.Dealing with these current and future environmental issues requires a multidisciplinary approach, an open mind, and problem-solving skills.Some modules incorporate practical laboratories and for these you may be required to purchase basic safety items such as a laboratory coat or goggles. Other modules may require specific items such as rubber boots and outdoor waterproof clothing.Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including essays, practical exercises, field reports, multiple-choice-question tests, assessed presentations and project work. The range of assessments provides a broad skills-base of relevance to future employment.
