Environmental Sciences
Welcome to Environmental Sciences
Our holistic approach to teaching and research, integrating physical, chemical, biological, social and geotechnical sciences into the study of natural and human environments, is truly a modern philosophy for the new millennium. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, the School was rated 'double 5*', the highest possible research ranking, and in the most recent Teaching Quality Assessment, we were awarded an 'excellent' rating.
At a lecture at the John Innes Centre in December 2005, Professor Sir David King, the UK Government’s Chief Scientific Advisor claimed that “The School of Environmental Sciences at UEA is the strongest in the world”.
