Training:

The Environmental Practitioner degree programme seeks to provide an undergraduate education in environmental management and assessment. This apprenticeship will provide theoretical, technical and professional skills needed to work as an environmental analyst or manager.

Throughout the programme, you'll integrate into the work
and practice needs of the Climate Change and Sustainability Team and apply what you learn at university through a combination of academic theory, professional practice, and organisational requirements.

Learning delivery with Coventry University is via block release, with blocks typically running twice a semester and lasting 3-5 days. These blocks are supplemented by regular on-line group tutorials to ensure apprentices are on track and supported as they progress towards assessments.

Anticipated progression from this post will be to become a Professional Lead within the Climate Change and Sustainability Team.
