Course overview

The world is facing urgent challenges—biodiversity loss, climate change, and growing threats to food and energy supplies.

Our Environmental Management and Sustainability degree apprenticeship prepares you to tackle these head-on. You’ll develop expertise in climate change adaptation, water management, sustainable energy, land use, and food security.

Blending theory with hands-on experience, this programme helps you master key sustainability concepts while uncovering your passions. Its interdisciplinary approach gives you a broad perspective on environmental management, opening doors to exciting careers or further research opportunities.

Fieldwork is at the heart of your learning. Each year includes trips to local sites to bring your studies to life. The standard degree programme features residential field courses, including international trips to Europe and South Africa. Apprentices will join a residential field course in their first year, with other trips available as optional extras.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will achieve a BSc (Hons) Environmental Management and Sustainability degree. 

Entry requirements

The entry requirement for the degree apprenticeship will typically be a minimum of three A levels at Grade CCD or higher (in line with the BSc (Hons) Environmental Management and Sustainability degree), their equivalent (in UCAS points) or a Level 3 apprenticeship in a construction or property-related discipline. Current employees who already have experience in the industry, who would like to become an apprentice, can discuss enrolment with our team of specialists who will advise. Apprentices must have the right to work in England.

Apprentices without GCSE English and Maths (A*-C or 9 - 4) or equivalent will need to achieve this level prior to enrolment. This can be funded separately and taken at a local college or provider.

Careers

The environment sector is full of opportunities to create real change, from environmental consultancy and sustainable business management to renewable energy and land management. With strong links to employers like the National Trust, local authorities, and the Environment Agency, your future could start here.
