Environmental Health Science is a dynamic discipline that equips students with the knowledge and skills to assess, control, and prevent environmental hazards that threaten public health. Students study subjects including epidemiology, waste management, water and air quality analysis, occupational health, food hygiene, and environmental legislation. The programme combines classroom theory with practical fieldwork, preparing graduates to tackle Nigeria's pressing sanitation and pollution challenges. Career opportunities span public health inspection, environmental consulting, waste management administration, and roles within government agencies such as the Federal Ministry of Environment. Graduates may also work in oil and gas companies managing environmental compliance. The Environmental Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORECON) regulates professional practice, and registration with this body is essential for licensed practice nationwide.
