Description
The programme begins with students taking a wide range of courses over two terms. The courses cover environmental pollution, soil science, remediation technologies, environmental economics and analytical chemistry. Courses are delivered by a combination of lectures, lab practicals, field trips and tutorials. In addition, students can expect career development advice, site visits, and a residential field trip that considers the land use, rural management and industry in the North East of Scotland. The final three months of the programme are dedicated to carrying out a research project that provides training in technical skills and analysis of results, as well as writing a manuscript for a scientific journal.
