Program overview
Environmental Science is about studying how to protect our planet. You'll learn how environmental elements like the atmosphere, water, soil, and ecosystems work, and how human activities affect them. Core courses include Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Monitoring, Environmental Microbiology, Principles of Environmental Engineering, Ecology, and Environmental Policy and Management. This major is perfect for students who are curious about nature, enjoy hands-on experiments, and like working with data. Chinese universities offer unique features—many have their own field monitoring stations where you can participate in real environmental surveys, and some partner with environmental companies for internships. Plus, China invests heavily in environmental governance, so you'll get exposure to cutting-edge treatment technologies and case studies.
