Environmental and Land-based Studies

The Diploma in Environmental and Land-based Studies will give learners the opportunity to explore the varied relationship between humans and the world around them, from the value of plants and animals in business to the impact of people on the environment. The Diploma in Environmental and Land-based Studies encourages active investigation, from conducting field research on the use of the land-based and aquatic environments to using tools and equipment safely to care for plants and animals.

The Diploma can be studied at three levels. Preview units and assessment methods for each level - Foundation, Higher and Advanced.

The same three themes arise at each level of our Principal Learning specifications indicating the structure and diversity of the Environmental and Land-based sector:

  • The productive and working environments
  • Plants and animals
  • Developing the sustainable environment

Tips: substantial provisions for inclusion of localised content e.g. habitats, increasing the relevance for the learner, and ease of delivery for the teacher.
