BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science

The Bachelor of Science with Honours in Environmental Science at the University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) is a comprehensive programme that equips students with the knowledge and skills to address today’s critical environmental and sustainability challenges. Combining theoretical foundations with hands-on experience, this degree covers key topics such as global environmental change, sustainable development, nature and biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, and advanced data analysis. Accredited by the Institute of Environmental Sciences (IES) this programme reflects our commitment to preparing students for professional impact in environmental and sustainability sciences. Guided by world-class researchers, students gain exposure to the latest developments in the field through engaging lectures, practical fieldwork, and research projects. The curriculum offers flexibility, allowing students to specialise in areas aligned with their interests and aspirations, such as tropical ecology and conservation, environmental policy, and GIS technologies. Graduates emerge as adaptable professionals, ready to create sustainable solutions for local, national, and global environmental issues.
