What it covers
This unit aims to provide an understanding of ecology, environmental systems and environmental management. The various topics give a critical insight into the diversity and complexity of environmental issues, and the major causes and effects of environmental pollutions resulting from anthropogenic activities. The unit also aims to develop high levels of awareness for the ubiquity of hazardous substances and specific skill sets for their management. Students will also acquire new skills and knowledge in preparing Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and generic risk assessments. Finally, the unit will provide an overview of mitigation strategies to minimise ecological footprint.
