Environmental Science degrees compared with official data
601 courses at 88 universities, every page shows entry standards, graduate earnings, satisfaction scores and fees.
Top Environmental Science courses
Ordered by the arithmetic mean of the official measures published for each course, NSS satisfaction, graduate activity and continuation. Official data only; no commercial league-table input. Two of the three measures are published rounded to the nearest 5 percentage points, so courses are grouped into bands against the whole board instead of scored out of 10, and courses whose measures are identical are listed alphabetically.
Pick your predicted grades above and each course gets a fit badge: they compare your UCAS points with that course’s admitted-student tariff, same logic as the calculator on every course page. Courses with no published tariff stay unbadged. Not a guarantee; many universities make contextual offers.
What Environmental Science graduates earn
What Environmental Science graduates actually earn, from real outcome data — 15 months, 3 years and 5 years after graduating.
National figures for Environmental Science graduates — HESA Graduate Outcomes (15 months) and the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) dataset (3 & 5 years). These are national, not university-specific; actual pay varies by employer, region, role and experience. Different cohorts, so the bars are not one group over time.
