Welcome to the web pages of the School of Environmental Sciences! Thanks for visiting. I hope that you are able to find the information you need quickly and easily.
Please let me know if you experience any difficulties (via my secretary rachel.carver@uea.ac.uk) and I will do my very best to help.
The School is one of the oldest departments of Environmental Sciences anywhere in the world and the largest in the UK. When the University of East Anglia was established around 50 years ago (with the motto ‘Do Different’) the School of Environmental Sciences was a novel concept, bringing together physical and social scientists from a wide variety of disciplines to study the natural and human environment. It is a measure of the prescience of our founding fathers, that this approach to understanding the environment is now regarded as part of the mainstream in academia.
The School, however, continues to build and develop on the basis of this strong legacy. If you are considering undergraduate or postgraduate studies at UEA, we now enrol some 150 undergraduates every year and have 150 PhD and 50 Masters students from all over the world. These web pages also contain details about our research staff of 60 faculty and 90 post-doctoral researchers, in world-leading research facilities such as the Climatic Research Unit, the Tyndall Centre, LGMAC and CSERGE, as well as knowledge transfer bodies like CRed which make links into the policy process and civil society.
These activities and many others are supported by a wide range of dedicated laboratories, fieldwork services and support staff. If you come to ENV as a visitor, student, researcher or staff member please come and introduce yourself. I wish you a very happy time here!
Professor Julian Andrews, Head of School
