Hide-The career prospects for graduates from this programme are wide ranging. Graduates have a very good employment record, with many graduates gaining employment in areas related to their primary degree qualification – albeit at the environmental interface of that discipline. Graduates’ roles frequently involve consultancy or advisory work, although some have gained employment with industry, regulatory agencies and local authorities, in education or in academic research.

This programme has also allowed some graduates to completely change direction – putting them on a radically different career path (classic examples include moving from economics to an ecology PhD; from IT engineering to agri-environmental management and PhD).
