Environmental issues feature strongly in the research and teaching activities of UK universities. These institutions therefore play a leading role in addressing our current environmental challenges. Because 'the environment' cuts across so many academic disciplines, many university degrees and research centres have an environmental focus. This list is not exhaustive but provides a general guide to the UK university faculties, departments and research centres that carry out activities in this field.
More information about UK universities can be found at the Higher Education and Research Opportunities in the United Kingdom (HERO) website.
