About this course
**Why choose this programme?**
Are you considering a career in the environmental sector? Would you like to find sustainable solutions to environmental challenges such as climate change, development pressures, resource use and environmental pollution?
You'll learn to investigate, monitor, evaluate and understand environmental systems and to predict and respond to environmental challenges.
This programme is highly practical; day and residential field trips will help you develop your field-based research skills from Level 4 to Level 6. You'll work on an independent research project based on an industry problem identified by your employer. This will combine your own environmental science interests with those of your employer.
One day a week will be at university rather than your place of employment. There will also be learning activities at your workplace. The programme leads to a BSc (Hons) Environmental Science (Degree Apprenticeship) and Level 6 Environment Practitioner.
**Reasons to choose Kingston University**
Kingston University was involved in the Trail Blazer Group and developed the programme in collaboration with leading employers.
We are one of the first universities to offer the Level 6 Environment Practitioner Degree Apprenticeship.
Our programme is also the first accredited through the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
Modules
The academic delivery on this BSc (Hons) qualification is offered through a 1-day a week release which will predominantly account for the required 20% off-the-job training. It designed for those taking up building surveying-related apprenticeship employment with their employers. 30 credits at Level 6 will be delivered via a work-based learning module.
The remaining 330 credits will be taught via an intensive one-day a week education programme at Kingston University for each of the five years of the programme. The degree apprenticeship programme has been designed for those wishing to undertake a challenging programme which will enable them to study in depth many aspects of building surveying.
