What is an Environmental Sciences Degree?

Environmental Sciences Degrees are usually undertaken by students who like the natural, physical, and biological sciences.

By studying this specialisation, young people get new knowledge about the processes and phenomenons that affect the environment and find solutions to problems that concern nature.

Students’ interest has increased a lot in recent years due to climate change, pollution and other adverse effects on the environment. Environmental Sciences graduates bring multiple benefits to the world they live in, analysing systems and finding effective solutions to develop sustainability and green processes.

Benefits of an Environmental Sciences Degree

The main advantage of the Environmental Sciences Degree is that students are becoming more aware of how we need to protect the environment, give up chemicals and harmful products that pollute the planet in favour of the ones that are biodegradable or environmentally friendly. By becoming aware of the dangers we are facing, students find innovative ideas for sustainability and sustainable development.

This specialisation encourages young people to develop skills such as critical and creative thinking, teamwork, adaptation. Complex issues are debated through this degree, so students need to be innovative and think outside of the box to use resources wisely, protect and, above all, preserve natural wealth.

Besides the advantages listed, the rate of employment is high, because the jobs are being more and more diversified. It has been noted that there is a greater need for environmental consultation, biologists exploring natural environments, and sustainability consultants. This degree can also be useful for other jobs, such as Landscape Architect.

Environmental Sciences Degree Structure

The structure of the degree includes several subjects, depending on the university a student chooses. Some universities prefer to focus on the theoretical policies and notions discussed in the courses, while others choose to rely on systematic research and practical experience gained in the environment. In principle, these studies require a background in the following sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Ecology, Physics.

Bachelor Degrees in Environmental Sciences last between 2 and 3 years. Courses are based on the knowledge of the Sciences of Nature and Social Sciences. Most Bachelor programmes are based on college courses, but also on practical projects. A Master’s programme lasts for about 2-3 years and is recommended for those who want to continue with in-depth research into the elements of the environment. Doctoral courses are designed in such a way that students will be guided to conduct independent research, having a much different structure than during their Bachelor. This programme lasts between 3 and 6 years.

It is important to know that students can choose to pursue this degree online. In this way, students can take advantage of the flexibility and save money, as costs are much lower compared to those spent at universities. For example, The Open University offers online courses, the level of information being authentic and useful for the students.

    My opinion about my university is that it is fast paced. There are no proper guidelines or guides to put you through most things and you are expected to figure most things out yourself. One thing like though is the emphasis on sports and exercising. Though the amenities are not fully functional and operative, the students would appreciate a lounge or a open space area with good wifi to properly connect and experience other students and be productive

    The in-between sweetness of the Highs and Lows

    The university of Benin is one of the first generation schools in Nigeria. It’s a citadel of learning that usually stands out in not only academic performances but also, character building. It’s has one of the highest number of admission applicants in Nigeria yearly because of its impeccable qualities expressed in the way of life of it’s students.

    The university of Benin is foremost in teaching, research development and character moulding. I love the fact that each administration strives to make a long lasting impact on the school’s society.

    Areas where the school needs to improve include but not Iimited to security, quality water for residents students, Improved infrastructure and renovations of old buildings , as well as transparency in dealings.

    Overall, the University of Benin is a wonderful place to be with loads of fun and life changing experiences coupled with great intellectual development.

    My opinions

    My experience there was quite fun and interesting. My professor was strict but you enjoy the teaching. They are not many career opportunities, the building’s surroundings were neat, and the classrooms were fine and classy. I enjoyed it there!

    Lack of modern facility

    Honestly don’t like anything about the program, it would have been a good one tho, but a lack of modernization imagine a 21st century still making use of primitive tools. Most students haven’t even seen a tractor in real life, the outstation is in a 20-100 range ..few lecturers are good tho!

    My Uniben Experience

    The place is a nice, international environment and excellent teaching, lecturers are in a great competition to deliver their best and they compel students to study. One of the biggest challenges is the lecture rooms, they are mostly inadequate and not of good quality

    Great

    Beautiful course but my country Nigeria doesn’t appreciate it… If I was In Australia by now would have been a professor, a very attractive course that covers ballistic training, ethnomedicinal plants wildlife management and conservation, construction of parks, ranging and animals health
