Presentación

This course is only available as a joint honours degree , so you will combine Environmental Hazards with another subject. Combining subjects can help you to develop skills in multiple areas enabling you to consider varied careers. Find out what you can combine Environmental Hazards with on our joint honours page.
Environmental Hazards is the study of natural and man-made hazards that affect Earth, such as earthquakes and volcanoes. You´ll cover areas including the Earth´s surface and climatic hazards, hazard management, and develop the knowledge in aspects of geographical, earth and environmental sciences. You´ll develop a strong background in aspects of the geographical, earth, and environmental sciences that are essential to the study of hazards.
After your first year, you´ll be able to choose from a broad range of modules in both the physical and human aspects of environmental hazards, so you can concentrate on the areas that interest you most. Most of these modules are practical-based, giving you training in technical, laboratory, and field skills.

Requisitos

Our entry requirements are usually 260-280 UCAS points from A levels, including Grade C in A level Geography, Geology, Physics, Chemistry or Biology, or equivalent qualifications such as a BTEC National Diploma, Scottish Highers etc. If you´ve completed an Access/Foundation course, we also accept these qualifications.
The UCAS tariff points are a guide - we´ll also consider all the information that you´ve included in your application. We´ll also want to see that you´re enthusiastic and motivated to take this course and that you have the potential to benefit from coming to university.
