The BSc Environmental Science programme is a University of Seychelles undergraduate degree that has been running since 2012 and was first accredited by the Seychelles Quality Assurance (SQA) body in 2013/2014.
The degree is a broad and generalised programme with a special emphasis on tropical environments and environmental issues relating to small island developing states. The degree is general in nature but incorporates diversified teaching in a variety of disciplines linked to environmental science and environmental management, allowing for students to graduate with a wide general knowledge in environmental science.
Student cohort sizes are small, allowing students to receive individual attention from qualified and experienced lecturers. Students are able to interact with visiting scientists and members from industry through inclusion in various seminars and workshops.
Opportunities to participate in internships with local and regional partners allows for the students to network and gain some practical experience in industry to further enhance knowledge gained in the classroom and prepare students for the workplace.

The objectives of the programme are for students to:
- Gain a broad and multidisciplinary knowledge of environmental science, allowing them to progress to a more specialised understanding in a niche field of study through postgraduate study
- Synthesize information from a range of sources, critically evaluate the information and contribute new ideas to the process
- Acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable adaptation to scientific, technological and social change
- Apply the principles of research, experimental design and data analysis, and interpretation
- Develop abilities in applying appropriate knowledge, analytical skills and tools to solve environmental issues
- Develop academic writing and presentation skills
- Develop communication, management and planning skills
- Develop the capacity to be creative and innovative
