The environment-related departments are most likely to have a "similar name, a much poorer curriculum". Natural sciences, GIS, policy management and sustainable social issues may all be hidden in different degree titles.

One, Envirronment, Sustainability, Environnemental Science, Geography.

These names are often placed in the same search results, but courses may extend from natural sciences to policy, social justice, GIS, management and science and technology. The school chooses to ask yourself: "How does the environment work, or how does humans manage the environment?"

II. Four official courses to understand the difference

UBC BA Environnement and Sustability: People and Environment Interaction

The UBC Geography ' s BA Path combines natural and social sciences, with courses focusing on climate, clean water, biodiversity, policy, economic and social inequalities. Such courses are suitable for students interested in the interface between policy, society and the environment.

UBC BC Environmental Sciences / Geographic Sciences: Science and Methods

UBC's BSc Environmental Science in the direction of land, air and water, ecology and conservation; Geographic Science can go into the fields of climatology, GIScence, and hydrology. In both cases, scientific methods and information are more important than looking at the name of sustainability alone.

Wageningen BSc Environmental Sciences: Natural, social, technological mix

WUR’s English language teaching Environmental Sciences explicitly includes mathematics, statistics, chemistry, water, soil and environmental technology, as well as how humans, businesses and governments influence the environment. It suits students who want to keep science/technology depth and who want to deal with sustainability issues.

UNSW Environmental Management: Bringing Science to Policy and Management

UNSW’s Environmental Management course, which brings together environmental science with research, economics, social concerns of policy and governance, is a typical route of how environmental issues are managed.

Three: If you like GIS, don't just search for environmental science.

Many students prefer maps, telemetry, disasters, cities, climate and spatial information, and may actually be better suited to Geography / Geographic Science / GIS / Remote Sensing. UBC's Geographic Science places GIScence and remote sensing as one of the special directions for seniors.

DIY Key: High school interests are divided into four axes: science, data/GIS, policy/business, social justice, and then the curriculum. This is more effective than a single search for all degrees in the Environmental Sciences Department.
