Course summary

Run in collaboration with Dundee & Angus College, this course gives you the opportunity to secure a place at the University of Dundee if you currently fall short of our entry requirements. We focus on key issues including climate change, land and water pollution, food security and natural resource management. The aim of the first year is to give you give you a strong foundation in basic science, as well as a working knowledge and understanding of environmental principles and processes. This includes geology, hydrology, atmosphere, and oceanography. You will become a University of Dundee student with full access to all of our resources and facilities. On successful completion of first year you will transfer directly into year 2 of the Environmental Science course at the University of Dundee. We organise annual field trips abroad. In the past couple of years groups of students have successfully raised funds and sponsorship to travel to Iceland and the European Alps, where they have carried out scientific research projects into glacier hazards, environmental change and human impacts on the environment.
