ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE A-LEVEL

Course Content: This is a future-orientated, interdisciplinary science option. Our world needs environmentally motivated scientists, engineers, architects, teachers, farmers, writers, artists, politicians etc. Environmental Science can be combined with multiple subjects within the science, humanities, and media sectors because the knowledge and skills are transferable. Students gain a thorough understanding of the world in which we live and the risks and threats Earth faces.

 

The course provides interesting insight into how UK and international societies make decisions about environmental issues and how these contribute to the success of the economy and society. You will develop an understanding of different research methods, which will incorporate fieldwork and laboratory investigations.

​

Future Prospects: The green sector is in the top five globally for job growth. This A-level leads well to university courses in Environmental Science, Ecology, Microbiology, Law, Geography, and Conservation as well as many others. There are 63 universities offering 237 courses between them relating to Environmental Science and the number is growing.
