Climate Change BSc (Hons) explores the environmental, socio-economic and political aspects of this important inter-disciplinary subject, preparing graduates with understanding and skills to prepare for work in the expanding climate change sector.

The climate crisis remains the defining issue of this century with dramatic consequences expected not only for the global environment but also human health, well-being and all economic sectors – if mitigation is not prioritised.

Students explore the politics and contested nature of sustainable climate solutions through informed debate and discussion.
