A record 89% of Lancaster Environment Centre undergraduates achieved a higher grade degree this year
Of the 141 students graduating in 2017, 89% gained a first or upper second, which are particularly valued by employers and enable students to do further study. Twenty percent got a first class degree.
This reflects a steady year-on-year increase in good degrees for students studying Geography, Environmental and Earth Science, and Ecology and Conservation, up from 74% five years ago, and 65% in 2008/9.
This comes at the end of a successful year for the Lancaster Environment Centre, with Geography and Environmental Science being ranked in the top 5 in the UK for the third year running in the 2018 Guardian League Table.
