Students regularly engage with faculty from each of the college’s departments for hands-on experiences, research opportunities and connections to communities.... [-]

Teaching activities and research work at the Department of Biology (DB) are focused on botanics and protection of the environment, biology and animal ecology, and experimental biology. The DB educates experts who can find a job in state institutions dealing with environment and protection of nature, in research and service laboratories focused on biology and ecology, in cultural and educational institutions focused on ecological education and scientific activities. The Systematic Biology and Ecology degree programme is mainly focused on systematics and phylogenesis of plant and animal organisms and their ecology. Graduates gain necessary knowledge in general biological disciplines, e.g. cellular and molecular biology, the anatomy and morphology of plants, general zoology, systematics and phylogenesis of plants and animals, physiology and ecology of plants and animals, genetics and microbiology. The aim of practical activities in laboratories as well as field survey and experience is to extend students' knowledge and to turn theoretical knowledge into practical applications. The research activities of the Department are supported by many indigenous and foreign grants, as well as by cooperation with a number of colleges and scientific establishments. Among the main research interests in botanics there are floristics and phytocenology, mapping and monitoring of vegetation, species protection and saving programmes for critically endangered species. Within a long-term cooperation with KRNAP (the Krkonoše Mountains National Park) researches on the Krkonoše tundra have been carried out. Zoological research activity deals with e.g. ecology of the hymenopterous sands and steppes, etology and nesting behaviour of birds, parasitism behaviour of... [-]

How to ensure a healthy living environment with seven billion people on our planet? This is what the interdisciplinary bachelor's programme Environmental Sciences is about. You can learn how to investigate environmental issues like pollution, climate change and depletion of natural resources from a natural and social scientific perspective, and explore innovative sustainable solutions.

The bachelor's programme in Environmental Sciences is a three-year programme and includes 180 ECTS credits (60 credits per year). The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is an international system in which each credit represents around 28 hours of study. The Wageningen University & Research academic year is divided into six teaching periods. Usually, the first six weeks of each period are devoted to classes and practicums; the seventh week is for private study, to prepare for the exams that are given in week 8. Students take two subjects per teaching period; one-morning subject, and one afternoon subject.... [-]

Marine Science is a well-rounded and multi-disciplinary program which has been carefully designed to take full advantage of the unique variety of marine environments available for study around the island of Hawaiʻi. Introductory lecture and laboratory courses in general oceanography and marine biology are followed by intermediate-level courses in marine ecology and evolution, marine methods, and statistical applications in marine science. The most advanced level of the degree programs is composed of specialized courses in geological, chemical, physical, and biological oceanography and electives. The programs culminate in a capstone sequence, allowing students to focus on independent projects involving research or applied internships.... [-]

Students in our Environmental Science program have a rare opportunity to gain direct experience in field studies within the 6-million acre Adirondack Park. The campus is surrounded by lakes, streams and forests, making it a prime location to learn about ecosystems, environmental issues and the collaboration among people who work together to make a better environment. In your first days on campus, you begin your journey by working in the field, immediately learning about field techniques through active participation. You’ll continue with field studies in your upper division courses. The program allows students to tailor their coursework to their interests within this broad field of science. You’ll have the following opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills you need to enter the growing field of environmental science:... [-]

Green Mountain College prepares tomorrow’s park rangers, forest managers, and wildlife specialists to be stewards of our land and resources.

The natural resources management (N.R.M.) program at G.M.C. is unique—it blends natural sciences with social and policy sciences and introduces hands-on field methods. This includes a two-week field experience that covers forest inventory methods, wildlife monitoring, and recreation management. After four years, you’ll be qualified to enter a range of natural resource management employment options and be prepared to pursue graduate study in fields such as natural resources, forestry, wildlife biology, recreation management, or public policy. Graduates are working in public agencies and private companies including the U.S. Forest Service, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and Landvest (a forest consulting firm).... [-]

In recent years, major concerns related to the preservation of the environment have gained urgency. Local governments and private industries recognize the importance of conservation, recycling, and environmental awareness.

Our multidisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences program integrates biology, chemistry, and other related sciences in order to enable students to identify and understand environmental issues and devise solutions. It focuses on:

At Abilene Christian University, we believe that a Christian worldview requires stewardship of God's creation. Environmental issues are not simply technical problems—they also have political, sociological and even spiritual aspects.

The Environmental Science programme at U.I.C. is an interdisciplinary programme which provides students with relevant scientific principles and skills and management concepts to understand the complexity of the environment, identify and characterize both natural and anthropogenic environmental problems especially those associated with rapid industrialization and urbanization, to evaluate risks associated with these problems, and to develop and formulate management strategies, sustainable systems, and public policies to resolve complex environmental issues.

China is becoming one of the world's fastest growing economic regions. The rapid growth has led to the fast expansion of cities and urban centers into the rural areas, bringing along a tremendous amount of construction and industrial activities. Such fast pace of industrialization often leads to environmental degradation, which ultimately affects the health of the people and the sustainability of growth. To ensure good environmental quality and standard of living, well-thought-out environmental policies and plans for sustainable economic development are required at the national, provincial and city levels....
