6 | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY
Undergraduate Courses
At Keele we offer a range of different degree programmes related to the environment.
BSc (or BA) Environment and Sustainability
Our single honours degree programme in Environment and
Sustainability is one of only a few programmes in the UK
focussing on sustainability, and is genuinely interdisciplinary
in scope. It aims to produce graduates who are able to cross
the traditional natural science-social science divide. Students
develop a broad and in-depth understanding of environmental
and sustainabiltiy problems and become conversant with
strategies for moving towards a more sustainable future.
Topics covered include greening business, clean technology,
keele.ac.uk/gge
environmental citizenship, environmental politics at local,
national and UN levels, human impacts on the environment,
and sustainable urban regeneration as well as covering the
traditional environmental science areas described below.
Students have multiple opportunities to become directly involved
with Keele University’s broader sustainability vision, for example
living in the ‘sustainable student bungalow’. This course is
available as a 3-year single honours degree, a 4-year ‘with work-
placement year’ or as a 4-year ‘with International Year’ degree
programme. Depending on choices in the final year, the degree
is available as a BA degree.
