Department of Environmental Science

WHY STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Environmental science is a hot topic right now. This study largely encompasses aspects of physical, biological, and information relating to the environment and the solutions of the problems these topics entail.

When you study environmental science, you commit to learning about subjects like the understanding of earth processes, evaluating alternative energy sources, the effects of climate change, and controlling pollution.

But why should you invest your time in learning about these topics? Why is environmental science important and what can you even doing with a degree in this discipline?

Because the damage we’ve done to the world will only be reversed by professionals who fully understand the extent of the problem and want to work hard to fix it.

OUR DEPARTMENT

Fieldwork and practical experience are at the core of this programme, providing you with valuable skills for a career in the environmental sector. As our campus is located close to a range of natural resources, unique fieldwork environments and classes provides a diverse outdoor laboratory exposure along with the classroom teaching.

The Department of Environmental Science was established in 2009. At present the department offers B.Sc degree in Environmental Science. The department is run by highly qualified faculty members. The major thrust areas are: Ecology, Pollution biology, Environmental impact assessment, Microbiology, Bioinorganic and Environmental chemistry, Toxicology, Remote sensing, Resource studies, Urban studies along with dissertation paper as a footstep of research in the future. The laboratory and library facility of the Department is worth mentioning. Student-Teacher bonding in the department has made it as one of the most successful department of the college and also has guided the students for their entire future endeavour. As a part of course we conduct national and international seminars, wall magazine publication etc.

CAREER PROSPECTS

Basically, the positions you can choose from as a graduate of an environmental science program can be divided into five different career sets:

Environmental Science

Agriculture and Forestry

Environmental Policy and Planning

Sustainability and Green

Public Health

If you have an interest in any of the above topics, you could be an excellent candidate for an environmental science program.

The great thing about this field is that the sky’s the limit (literally). It takes a special kind of person to have the desire and curiosity to ask the right questions and develop sound and productive policies.

In these fields, you have the options of spending time in a lab developing and performing tests and finding answers, researching the unknown, or restoring damaged environments to working, healthy conditions.

There are needs within social sciences, physical sciences, and policy-making. While the degree is in environmental sciences, you are not stuck to just one option. If you’re wondering, “is an environmental science degree worth it?” remember that there’s a bit of something for everyone in this field.

Whether or not you have direct experience in any of these fields before going into college, these are all traits you can learn and develop in this discipline. The study of environmental science is full of passion and hope, with those within this industry spearheading movements to end pollution and get our world back to what it used to be. This career is for the hopeful and for those who believe in movements and change. With the continuation of pollution across our world, this career choice ensures job stability and guarantees a long career fighting for the cleanliness of our planet.
