Introduction
Education provided by ARU is Gold standard
ARU is among the 20% of universities in the country who have been awarded a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework – a reflection of the outstanding education we offer our students.
If you’re passionate about the environment and sustainability, and want to make a difference, our undergraduate degree course is for you.
It’s designed to teach you the fundamentals of environmental science and give you practical skills in environmental data management.
Together, we’ll explore human impact on the environment and ways to manage these interactions sustainably, as well as learning various aspects of data processing and interpretation including remote sensing.
You’ll enjoy a hands-on, project-based learning experience from day one. Through individual and group work, you’ll use your knowledge to address environmental problems in industry – and society in general.

Careers
Our Environmental Management degree will prepare you to work in many sectors, analysing and addressing environmental issues and challenges.
As a graduate, you’ll be ready to work as a consultant, analyst or strategist in environment-focused organisations, but also in industries ranging from manufacturing and food processing, to construction and engineering. Or you may choose to work for yourself, given the opportunities in data science.
Meanwhile your problem-solving, numerical and analytical skills will be attractive to employers in industries such as IT, finance and retail.
Our free Employability Service will help you take practical steps to follow your chosen career path, secure jobs and work experience, or even start your own business.
You might decide to stay at ARU and study for a Masters. We’re planning a range of postgraduate degrees at ARU Peterborough, and there is a selection of existing courses in Cambridge and Chelmsford.
Employability and personal career development
Informed by employers, our courses support an integrated approach to employability. You’ll have opportunities to develop the skills and abilities they are looking for and gain a deeper understanding of how your academic learning relates to the world of work through Live Briefs and Ruskin Modules.
To amplify your career ambition, you will need to actively dedicate time outside of your studies, whether you choose to explore placements, internships or volunteering. Or you could make a social impact by collaborating with our partner organisations through our volunteer scheme Students at the Heart of Knowledge Exchange (SHoKE). These all give you an edge, providing you with experience that you will be able to evidence on your CV and talk about in interviews.
Our Employability and Careers Service offers a range of expert advice and support to build your unique professional profile, including tailored career appointments, advice on writing your CV, and help to complete job applications. You’ll have 24/7 access to the Careers Centre, our comprehensive online digital resource, which empowers you to start building a Personal Career Development Plan from the very start. Design your future at ARU.
Graduate Capitals
To help you stand out when competing for a job after you graduate, we've developed the ARU Graduate Capitals. This is a set of six attributes, valued by employers and industry, that we integrate into our courses and help you develop, so you’ll have life-long career-skills.
