Employability of Sustainability Courses

Hi!

I am an international student who wants to work in sustainability. I am looking at studying in the UK because my country is cutting sustainability/environmental degrees. I am not sure which course to study at the University of Leeds. I have looked at the modules and am not sure what is the perfect fit. Is there a current student or professor who can answer some questions for me? I have already been offered spots at some universities.

I also am not sure if doing a specialized course like their Sustainability and Environmental Management BSc is a smart decision because of employability issues. Is it better to do geography or environmental science?

For example, my dream job would be a sustainability officer at a company like a motorsports team.

Hi! I can't comment on the sustainability courses but I am applying for geophysics at Leeds and I know the earth science departement have a very good jobs/career center and many people get job offers before they have even finished their degree!
