Interested in looking after our planet for future generations? From conserving biodiversity for sustainable development to tackling air pollution and flooding, you’ll be focused on finding solutions to the planet’s urgent problems. Taught collaboratively alongside the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, you’ll have the unique opportunity to extend your interests in biology, ecology, and evolution. And you’ll apply your new knowledge to develop an understanding of the biological, physical, and chemical processes that drive change in the Earth’s system. **Surrounded by experts at every step** You’ll be driven to create a positive impact by our expert research-focused academics. Imagine being taught by leaders who’ve had research included in groundbreaking climate change reports, and others who’ve featured on BBC Panorama. Or how about being taught by academics who’ve worked inside government shaping UK climate policy? After developing skills in our labs using our state-of-the-art instrumentation and modelling methods, you’ll have opportunities to apply your learnings during field trips. You could be exploring ecological interactions in Somerset. Or perhaps travelling to South Africa to study the savannah ecosystems. All of this will prepare you for a range of careers. From contaminated land assessment to sustainable natural resource management, and conservation to geospatial analysis – where will this course take you?

A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
