Would you like to understand the climate science behind the headlines? Would you like to help society find sustainable ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Would you like to be employed in one of the most rapidly-expanding sectors of the economy? If so, then this degree is for you. Climate change is likely to remain at the top of the political agenda as predictions of future climate change and its likely impacts become clearer. Energy management is key to helping us mitigate and adapt to climate change and the low carbon and environmental goods and services (LCEGS) sector is predicted to continue to grow for the forseeable future (read more here). This sector has a shortage of qualified professionals and this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in this field. This course is accredited by the Institution of Environmental Sciences.

With excellent prospects in commercial, industrial and public sectors, you could be employed as a biofuels advisory manager, a carbon consultant, an energy consultant, or a climate or energy policy advisor. Rob Hopkins, a graduate of one of our environmental management courses, was named 'Grassroots Campaigner of the Year' in The Observer Ethical Awards 2009. He has been highly influential in the Transition Movement, helping communities to works towards being sustainable and self-sufficient.
