Course Overview
Environmental Mathematics at Lancaster was the first degree of its kind in the UK. It reflects our innovative approach and builds on the strengths of two top-ten departments. We integrate the disciplines of environmental science and mathematics to develop your understanding of the quantitative facets of environmental science. You will take an in-depth look at environmental systems, using sophisticated statistical methods and experiments to monitor and solve many complex environmental problems.
Without the experience I gained at Lancaster I would never have been able to reach the level I'm at now.
Career opportunities
Opportunities for our Environmental Mathematics graduates are diverse and your career could take you into public sector regulatory bodies, such as the Environment Agency, or into private sector industries such as professional services, accountancy and IT.
