Here's what University of East Anglia says about its Environmental Sciences course.
Overview
Taught by world-leading researchers, this highly flexible degree programme will allow you to explore how the physical, chemical and biological components of the natural environment function and how they're impacted by, and affect, our society, politics and culture.
Our Environmental Sciences programme explores questions such as: How can we tackle the climate and biodiversity crises? What are the best strategies for achieving Net Zero? How are our oceans and rivers changing? What physical processes drive our weather? What happens inside an erupting volcano? How can we transform our energy systems and achieve greater sustainability in our lifestyles?
The environment supports all aspects of our daily life but is also the source of some of the most complex and wide-ranging challenges facing humanity. The need for environmental scientists who can help us respond to these challenges and make a difference at local and global scales has never been greater. This degree will help you become one of these essential people.
At UEA, you’ll conduct experiments in our state-of-the-art laboratories, and develop highly valued transferable skills in data analysis, spatial visualisation and science communication. You'll gain important field skills and have the exciting opportunity to embark on national and international fieldwork in places such as Greece, Spain, Scotland, Swaziland, and Peru.
Upon graduating, you'll be a highly trained environmental scientist, well-equipped to take up rewarding positions across the public and private sectors where you can provide real world solutions to today’s environmental challenges. Check out Ed’s story, who is now working as a Project Manager in whale and dolphin conservation, having graduated with a BSc in Environmental Sciences from UEA.

Overall id say that the inversity is okay, the course is good however the lectuerers arent the best and often times lectures feel quite pointless. Things cost a lot here too, with the laundrette and shop being very overpriced making it hard to budget money easily. However, the camous looks quite nic...

Uni life is very fun. You get to spend time with your friends and they're always there so you don't get bored. Norwich is a very average city but again you get used to it and it's also very historic

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good
