Environmental and Earth Sciences is a vast discipline that integrates various sciences and technologies to improve comprehension of environment-related issues. It involves mitigation and development of scientific knowledge, processes, and technologies to solve environmental issues like climate change, pollution, and shortages of resources-food, energy, and minerals around the world.

Environment and Earth Sciences allow students to realise, learn and create awareness about environmental problems like climate change, global warming, ozone layer depletion, and the impacts on biodiversity and marine life at state, national, (since the oxford comma is used at the beginning) and global levels. Students are also taught to understand the impact of developments on the environment. They can discover a more sustainable way of living through efficient utilisation and conservation of natural resources and biodiversity. The discipline provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by working on real-life challenges.

Environmental and Earth Sciences students will also gain a list of transferrable skills that most employers look for. These skills include data analysis, teamwork, problem-solving, communication, research, presentation, social and commercial awareness, project management, and lab and fieldwork skills.
