About

Environment - Journeys through a Changing World programme offered by The Open University UK introduces you to subjects from the natural sciences, social sciences and technology to develop your understanding of environmental issues and concerns.

Overview

Our world is changing fast – we are experiencing pressure from climate change, growing demands for finite resources and the extinction of many plants and animals.

Are you interested in global environmental issues; how living and non-living things interact; how humans are changing the planet and are now responding to the difficult challenges this brings? If you’re looking for a single module that offers a general introduction to studying the environment, then this is the module for you. It provides the ideal foundation for a range of environment, science, social science and technology qualifications or you can study it on its own.

Vocational relevance

At the same time as studying the environment, you’ll also develop your reading, writing, numeracy, analytical and communication skills. It will help you evaluate information and arguments; interpret and use data in a variety of graphical and numerical forms; use computers for information-searching, communication and software applications; and become an independent learner. Such skills and attributes are highly valued by employers because you can apply them to a wide variety of new contexts.

Programme Structure

The module has six blocks:

  • Block 1 – Setting out from home
  • Block 2 – Arctic approach
  • Block 3 – Nile limits
  • Block 4 – Life in the Amazon
  • Block 5 – Changing China
  • Block 6 – Cities and sustainability
