The environment is one of the most challenging areas of modern science. Problems resulting from increased industrialisation and consumerism on a global scale are threatening our natural resources. In our search for a sustainable future, environmental scientists are tackling the effects of acid rain, air pollution, global warming, greenhouse gases and the loss of habitats. Understanding more about how the environment works as a whole is vital to progress in these areas.
If the environment interests you, or you already work in or plan to move into the sector, OU study will provide a valuable insight and develop both your knowledge and practical and analytical skills. It could be your passport to a wide variety of career opportunities. Working in environmental consultancies, government agencies, industrial and utility companies and voluntary organisations, you could be involved in important projects such as conserving water, halting soil erosion or predicting earthquakes.
