"Climate change and anthropogenic activities are threatening life on Earth. Lifelong environmental education has a role to play in making sustainability a central part of a global society. The United Nations Climate Change Learning Partnership acknowledges that given most children alive today will likely suffer the consequences of a changing climate, it makes sense that they should be prepared and be part of the race to “build capacity” towards sustainability.\n\nThe course team has developed an excellent record in environmental research, particularly coastal and marine management and sustainability. These themes feed into the programme structure. The course also considers the conservation of environmental habitats and embedding green infrastructure and spaces in a city environment. Given Swansea’s location and local climate, the challenges of flooding provide an opportunity for students to engage with ‘soft’ or ‘natural’ engineering options.\n\nYou will learn the science that underpins environmental issues and share information on key thematic issues with authorities and public groups alike. The course’s broad scope is the result of robust industrial engagement.\n\nThe programme will help you build skills that are relevant to a wide range of employers, including critical thinking, the capacity to contextualise complex issues and the ability to present a coherent argument.\n\nCreated by our environmental students and alumni with useful information about Swansea, the course and how to survive it, advice on volunteering and employment opportunities to pursue after completion of your studies.\n\nIf you are passionate about preserving the environment and want to develop the knowledge and skills to do so, then this course could be for you. The city centre campus is ideally situated between the Gower Peninsula and the Brecon Beacons National Park – providing perfect study sites for coastal science and habitat management.\n\nWe have a seventeen-year history in delivering courses on Environmental Conservation and with relatively small class sizes, there are lots of opportunities for shared discussion with your peers and experienced lecturers.\n\nThis, combined with practical fieldwork, makes it a great course for gaining both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that employers value. Our staff offer a friendly, accessible learning environment, with expertise in coastal, marine and freshwater ecology, waste management and environmental assessment. All are research active allowing students to engage with, and benefit from, research projects."@en . . . . "3"@en . "FALSE" . . "Bachelor"@en . "Thesis" . "9000.00" . "British Pound"@en .

You will gain experience in transferable employment skills, including:\n\nData analysis\nEnvironmental assessments\nHabitat surveying\nIdentification of environmental stressors\nInformation dissemination\nOral and visual presentations\nReport writing\nSpecies identification\nStudents take part in some volunteering days as part of fieldwork training and are encouraged to find summer work placements which will provide important work experience.\n\nYou will be encouraged to use collaborations with work experience providers to collect data for your dissertation (your own major research project in your final year of study).\n\nOne of our school research projects, reclamation of mining spoils, provides many opportunities in data collection and soil analysis. Other opportunities have been made available with the City and County of Swansea, where students have volunteered in collecting and interpreting waste data from surveys.\n\nCareers\n\nOur Environmental Conservation programmes cover a broad range of topics that can lead to a huge number of careers.
