Course: BSc (Hons) Sustainable Futures (Progression Route)

The BSc (Hons) Sustainable Futures course provides a level 6 progression route from relevant level 5 study and as such, it is a multidisciplinary course that reflects the needs of our time.

The recent global pandemic has provided an insight into what can happen environmentally if human activity is reduced within it. It is now clear that we are equally a vulnerable species and that nature can and does bite back: but also that the natural world can recover given time, and that a slower more mindful pace of life can be both fulfilling and sustainable. This course delivers the knowledge and skills that will be vital to create a more sustainable future for humanity and nature by exploring rewilding, carbon management, zoonotic diseases and data analysis. These disciplines will enable you to enter a wide range of career pathways, providing you with cutting-edge knowledge and vocational analytical skill sets. The course is suitable for anyone with an inquiring mind wishing to play a part in creating sustainable futures for nature and humanity alike.

Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study.  This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.

Modules you may study include:

• Dissertation
• Rewilding for a Sustainable Future
• Applied Data Science
• Zoonoses
• Carbon Management for a Sustainable Future
