Roles graduates go into

  • Environmental consultant
  • Agronomist
  • Sustainability officer
  • Conservation officer
  • Land or estate manager
  • Environmental compliance analyst

Where they work

  • Farming and agri-supply businesses
  • The Environment Agency and Natural England
  • Water and utility companies

After the course

Chartered status through the Institution of Environmental Sciences or a licence to practise from a sector body is the usual next step, and both count a year of logged practice.
