Good comment Mary. We have featured both UCL and LIS with their truly multi-disciplinary degree programmes, and the work at LJMU and the OU on systems thinking as well. We agree there needs to be a bringing together of the "traditional" environmental programmes with multi-disciplinary ones. When we pulled together a series of four ranking of environmental programmes to produce a single table it excluded programmes at Imperial College amongst other universities.

I wonder whether the filter you have used ie Environmental Sciences has resulted in a failure to recognise alternative courses that work in interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary ways - eg the BASc programmes offered by UCL, LIS and Brunel University's Global Challenges programme - particularly the Planetary Health pathway. The Brunel University London programme has won the National Green Gown Award for Next Generation Learning and Skills but it wouldn't be picked up by the filters you are using.
