BSc Environmental Mathematics

Comments about BSc Environmental Mathematics - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  A quantitative approach is vital to solving modern problems of the environment, and this degree combines relevant units from the School of Mathematics and Statistics with Physical Geography. As well as physical geography and environmental science, students take core mathematics and a selection of modules in either applied mathematics or probability and statistics. You'll spend roughly half your time studying mathematics and statistics, and the other half on geography.
