BA in Environmental Humanities with Study Abroad, University of Exeter

The Environmental Humanities BA at the University of Exeter is a global interdisciplinary program focusing on pressing environmental, ecological, and societal issues from a humanities perspective. It emphasizes the critical role of humanities methods—such as history, literature, anthropology, archaeology, and cultural geography—in understanding local and global environmental crises. The course encourages students to think beyond single disciplinary approaches and explore collaborative, cross-disciplinary solutions to challenges like climate change, social injustice, pollution, and resource depletion. Students will engage in critical enquiry of narratives, representations, infrastructures, and inequalities perpetuating environmental problems. Practical skills are developed through project management, creative thinking, communication, heritage work, and more, with opportunities to interact with local businesses, charities, and participate in field activities. The program allows tailoring through modules in history, literature, politics, geography, law, and environmental science, preparing students for careers in sustainability and related fields.
