What to look for in a course
Compare science-led environmental programmes with policy, planning and sustainable business routes. Check how much fieldwork, statistics or laboratory work is expected.
Review specific modules and research groups rather than broad sustainability claims. Consider whether you prefer analysing data, designing systems or working with communities.
Ask about field-trip costs and access needs. For research study, align your proposed question with a supervisor’s expertise and available facilities.
Questions to ask before you apply
- What subjects or prior experience does this exact programme require?
- Which modules are compulsory, and how much choice do I have?
- How are projects, placements and assessments structured?
- What costs sit outside the published tuition fee?
