Climate and Environment Sciences (Hons) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

Climate change is the most pressing issue facing today's society and our ability to understand the causes, impacts and potential mitigation strategies is vital for future populations. It is also vital to increase our capacity to communicate this to the public.

The Climate and Environment Sciences (Hons) degree from Liverpool John Moores University has developed in direct response to this clear need for graduates with the knowledge and practical skills required to tackle climate change.

Career paths

Climate Change is a global issue affecting many environmental processes and socioeconomic aspects of life, therefore graduates will have a broad range of career prospects.

Graduates could work for environmental management companies and consultancies such as Mouchel, Amec Foster Wheeler and Applied iGeology; operational government authorities such as the Environment Agency and Natural England; in engineering and surveying roles and in the business and insurance sector.

Roles in science communication and science policy through governmental and non-governmental organisations also offer employability opportunities, as well teaching, the civil service and a range of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) related roles across various (non-environment) employment sectors.

​Further study, including Masters programmes, will enable you to develop your research skills in more specific areas of the wider climate, life and environmental sciences or you may wish to transfer to an environmental engineering related Masters to develop a more vocational career.
