What our students say
"I really liked the modularity aspect of my course and the fact that I could take modules outside of my degree programme as it gave me a chance to explore new areas. I chose to study a module called Marine and Coastal Sustainability and I discovered I really enjoyed that subject.
In my final year, I went to Borneo for 2 weeks on a field trip where we lived in a small local village in the middle of the rainforest. I learned so much about the culture and the local people who have their roots in the forest and are in charge of the care of it."
