With the rapid development of global economy, industries and cities, human activities bring along many serious environmental issues such as natural habitat destruction, climate change, pollution of air, water and soil, overexploitation of natural resources, and extinction of species. These environmental problems seriously threaten the sustainable development of human and the Earth. Environmental science allows us to understand the intricate relationship between human and the nature. It is an interdisciplinary study that requires us to master multiple domains of knowledge such as sciences (including biology, chemistry, geology, statistics, mathematics, physics etc.), social sciences (including law, public relation, media etc.), and business management (including economics and project management etc.). We are committed to cultivating professionals with an environmental mission. Our goal is to enable students to fully understand global environmental issues, master the skills of sustainable environmental management as well as the skills and technologies to prevent or reduce environmental impacts.

The curriculum of Environmental Science Programme offered by BNU-HKBU United International College (UIC) is designed to balance students' professional development in both environmental management and environmental technology. Students can choose their own elective courses according to their personal interests, postgraduate goals and career preferences. Through four years of systematic learning, students will master the basic knowledge and skills of environmental science, including critically thinking about the causes of various environmental and ecological problems, pollution prevention and control technologies, ecological protection planning, environmental impact assessment, environmental management, green business management, and developing sustainable development strategies.
