WHO WE ARE
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION SINCE 1968
We have been teaching environmental science and related subjects at Coleraine since the inception of the University in 1968. Looking after our planet for future generations is of prime importance and our graduates gain knowledge and skills to address issues such as climate change, conserving biodiversity, sustainable development, water and air quality, and human population growth.
From exploring the science behind the world's environmental crises to the spatial dynamics of human behaviours, our Environmental Science, Marine Science and Geography degree programmes will equip you with the subject-specific, practical and transferrable skills to drive positive environmental change within a wide variety of sectors.

A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE PROFESSIONALS
REBECCA CREED
'I spent my placement year at the Atlantic Whale Foundation, based in Tenerife. During this placement, I was given some amazing opportunities including regular boat trips to carry out surveys on the resident and migratory cetacean populations as well as underwater video recording of Pilot Whales, a truly unforgettable experience!'
Coastal Process Scientist
Canterbury City Council
MATTHEW STRAHAN
‘The degree at Ulster instilled in me an understanding of many different systems and processes, from GIS to geology, and an understanding of how a place can be shaped by culture and the people using it. It changed the way I think.’
Heritage Scientist and
3D Laser Surveyor
URSULA BLACK
'After graduating, I started with the Deloitte Academy, which focused on technology transformation. This line of work was of great interest to me as I had gained significant skills in GIS and Remote Sensing during my degree at Ulster. It is a dynamic and incredible course, which equipped me with a range of transferable skills that enabled me to take a path entirely new and unknown to me.'
