Climate and Environment Sciences with Foundation Year (Hons) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the ability to study for a degree but don't have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Climate and Environment Sciences honours degree programme.

The Climate and Environment Sciences with Foundation Year (Hons) programme 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.
