Environmental Health Middlesex University

Overview

Why study environmental health at Middlesex University?

The only fully-accredited environmental health degree in London, the Environmental Health BSc course at the Middlesex University gives you the knowledge, certifications and skills to confidently enter into a career as an environmental health officer across all sectors.

This programme will be delivered in a blended learning format using live interactive teaching sessions via a number of learning platforms e.g. Kaltura newrow Adobe Connect or Zoom. These sessions will be recorded so that you can return to this learning in your own time and study at your own place.  Learning may be supplemented by pre-recorded lectures, demonstration of laboratory techniques or data analysis activity where students can access the information at any point. Practical sessions will either be virtual or on campus where this is possible in light of the ongoing Covid 19 outbreak. This wide range of teaching and learning approaches are used to build up your skills and knowledge.

You will take part in online problem solving discussions, critical debates and exercises, online workshops, and in-class activities. You will supplement all this with your own guided and independent reading. The mix of delivery modes will be varied and suitable to the content being delivered.

Middlesex is committed to equipping and accommodating learners fully online where they cannot reach campus, and where a second lockdown is in place. In such event, the fully online scenario will be in place to provide and support students’ learning.
