School of the Environment

The School of the Environment brings together multiple subject disciplines that span the world’s natural and built environments. We provide a portfolio of courses that aim to develop our students’ understanding of the natural environment, its resources, and how these resources are used by society.

We also aim to provide students with an in-depth understanding of how the built environment is designed and constructed, how it functions and how it impacts the world we live in. Our vision is to be at the forefront of addressing sustainability issues, placing sustainability at the heart of teaching and research activities.
