Work Environment (Part II)

In previous post I quoted some of the possible courses that you can study if you want dediaros the environment. First of all I have to apologize, because among so many qualifications, I forgot one of the most important (environment):

Marine Sciences. Marine Science is a career for those who love the sea and water environments. Not only is marine biology, marine environment can also be studied from many different points, such as physics, chemistry, geology ... Marine Sciences offers a multidisciplinary view of all them.

if you are aware, there are a lot of qualifications (and all modules without higher education) that deal with the environment. Traditionally have been distributing different job profiles in this field, the need to create a new qualification that aims at unifying this knowledge was evident. This is not to say that other environmental professionals were not good enough, only one run was needed to collect the different approaches to get a professional "compact." From this idea was born, just over 10 years, a new degree: Bachelor of Environmental Science .

You see, one of the problems of the approach to environmental awareness is that the environment is practically everything. It has three pillars: the biological environment, physical environment and social environment. Biological media are animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, but also communities, ecosystems ... the physical environment is all natural that is not alive, like water, soil, rocks, climate, atmosphere ... and the social environment are the people, how they live and how they behave in and to the environment environment.

This is reflected in the curricula of Environmental Sciences. As core subjects (which are those that have to be taught compulsorily regardless of the university in that study) are both biology and the physical environment and social media. A good environmentalists must know both the different phyla of marine animals, such as the functioning of a cell, such as estimating water reserves in a particular area, such as interpretation of climate data, and knowledge of the lithology, such as the ability to interpret sociological behavior, understanding notions of economy or much right. Here you have a list of core subjects.

So there are a number of subjects, let's call "general environmental Culturilla ." Apart from the core, universities can also bring their own subjects of their own, are called mandatory. The university, which has traditionally has been to adjust these compulsory courses it already had. For example, if the university already had a large staff in biology, because they put more science, for example.

Then, apart from the subjects' overall environmental Culturilla , there are other courses on applied aspects such as Environmental Impact Assessments, Waste Management, Natural Resources Management ... although there is room for tools and environmental studies, such as Geographic Information Systems, or mapping.

Each university distributes the credits (hours) as he thinks fit. Some universities do more stress upon some subjects than others. In general, do not think you can say that universities are better or worse and there are enough schools across the geography to choose what suits us. Here a map of Universities in Environmental Sciences.

Interestingly, some universities require a Master Thesis Project for the title. Universities are usually 4-year plans. (There are plans to study for four years and five years, there is no difference in the title and going are you going to get to learn the same.) Here you have a list of universities with final year project. In principle there is something you have to frighten, the proposed limit can be a good approach to the real world, but be careful, try to take cognizance of the facilities the university offers for the project. The best way is trying to get in contact with students or graduates of that university.

There is a good network of provincial and regional associations of Environmental Sciences. It can be a good place to check. For example, in Andalusia is the FACCAA (Andalusian Federation of Environmental Sciences) that brings together the provincial associations. A good google query can guide you. Although there is a pretty good portal on environmental sciences: CienciasAmbientales.Com . There you can find most of the information I have, and many more. You also have the forum on the same page, for more specific queries. I look

this have resolved some doubts. I have yet to talk a little about careers, but we'll leave for later. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask it either by email or by comment.
