Environment, Culture & Communication
Our Environment, Culture & Communication programme prepares graduates to enter fields in environmental journalism, education, public relations, advertising, and consultancy. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme means your skills are also tailored towards emerging fields such as negotiating between scientific fact and cultural understanding of climate change, and the ‘anticipatory history’ that must inform landscape management in the future. Graduates have gone on to work for environmental NGOs, ecological arts organisations, and undertaken further study at PhD level.
