Description

This course provides an introduction to ecology, sustainability and environmental science, introducing a range of biological topics and how scientists approach these topics to solve problems.

The course develops student skills in critically assessing scientific information, routinely debated by the public and decision-makers. It provides a strong grounding in today's and tomorrow's environmental problems and the role of science in providing solutions.
