Find solutions to the planet’s urgent problems while exploring the rapidly evolving business landscape.
Care about the future of our planet and want to get sustainability on the business agenda? This course might be exactly what you’re looking for. Become part of a university community that is shaping responsible business practices, fostering sustainable economic growth and addressing environmental challenges.
Modules from The School of Business and Management make up a quarter of our programme – you’ll learn about financial management, marketing, strategy and human resources. Then we’ll spend the rest of the time teaching you about issues like tackling pollution and conserving biodiversity with modules taught in the School of Geography and the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences. You’ll also get the chance to explore different areas of biology, ecology and evolution that interest you.
After developing skills in our labs using our state-of-the-art instrumentation and modelling methods, you’ll have opportunities to apply your knowledge during field trips. You could be exploring ecological interactions in Somerset. Or perhaps travelling to South Africa to study savannah ecosystems.
You’ll be driven to create a positive impact by our expert researchers. Imagine being taught by leaders who’ve had research included in groundbreaking climate change reports and others who’ve featured on BBC Panorama.
Your combination of business know-how and environmental expertise will prepare you for a range of careers in the public and private sectors. From contaminated land assessment to sustainable natural resource management and conservation consultancy to geospatial analysis – where will this course take you?
You can complete your Environmental Science with Business Management degree in three or four years. If you choose to do study abroad, this will take place in Year 3 and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

The links between my environmental and my business classes were very interesting and studying abroad was a great opportunity to get a different perspective on my subject areas. My degree taught me time management, essay-writing and referencing skills, and working under pressure. It also provided me with great networking opportunities as I met many inspiring mentors.
