The Applied Environmental Science and Environment & Sustainability degree programmes (School of Physical and Geographical Sciences) have gained accreditation status from the Institution of Environmental Sciences.

The accreditation panel were particularly impressed with the interdisciplinary nature of the degree programmes, which aim to produce graduates who can combine the analytical skills of an environmental scientist with a holistic, integrated perspective that comes from a sustainability mind-set.

The panel also commented on the number of ‘innovative approaches to career and professional development’ within the programmes which include the ability to undertake an environmentally-related internship as part of a work placement module.

Students studying on both degree programmes will now benefit from free student membership of the IES during their time at Keele, indicating their professional commitment to prospective employers"
