Leading the world in environmental research and teaching

The world is changing - through natural causes and the impact of human activity. There is a growing need to understand these changes and provide advice and practical solutions to manage and mitigate their impact.
The Faculty of Environment is well placed to meet this need with over 400 staff actively engaged in research and teaching across a wide range of topics, covering geology, environmental science and management, human and physical geography and transport planning.
Take a look at how we might help you to meet your needs.
A warm welcome.
