Environmental Management: The University of Manchester

Course description

The BA (Hons) Environmental Management is a three-year degree programme about managing environmental resources and the interactions of human societies with them. To do this they need a good understanding of the environment and its many interactive processes, and of the wider environmental contexts within which interventions take place as societies develop and move forward.

Understanding both the scientific principles and the relevant policy frameworks are essential if they are to change thinking about the environment and their behaviours towards it, as they aim to live in a more sustainable way.

Career opportunities

Students graduating from within Planning and Landscape are popular with a wide range of employers. In recent years a growing numbers of graduates have found jobs also in other public services or in business, where an ability to analyse and propose policies and implement strategies is vital and where a wide variety of generic management and communication skills is appreciated. The transferable skills you develop in strategic thinking, teamwork, creativity and communication are exactly what most employers are seeking in almost any area in which you may subsequently decide to develop your career.
