Earth and Climate change degree programmes

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

The Department of Earth and Climate Sciences in the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Nairobi is unique in that it actualizes the interdisciplinary and muldisciplinary aspects of Earth studies. 

It provides avenues to link natural sciences with social sciences with intention of providing solutions to emerging issues, policies and practice. This encompasses sciences that relate to Planet Earth which include geoscience, atmospheric science, environmental science & governance, hydrology and oceanography, and climate change science. It therefore strongly intersects the natural and social sciences, and pays particular regard to the human relationship with, and stewardship of, the planet.

The programmes are delivered in four distinct but inter-connected Units, as follows: Geology, Meteorology, Climate Change Science & Adaptation, and Environmental Governance.

Earth and Climate Science graduates use their knowledge of how the Earth works in many different ways to help create a sustainable future for us all.
