The Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland (REHIS) became aware very recently of the University of West of Scotland’s (UWS) decision not to accept first year entrants (2024/25) to the BSc Hons in Environmental Health with Professional Practice course.
In light of this concerning news, the Institute requested an urgent meeting with the University which was held on Tuesday 5 March where unfortunately the University confirmed their decision. The Institute is extremely disappointed with this and understand that the University are reviewing the current structure of the course. The University will continue to accept entrants to second year and are committed to supporting all students who are enrolled on the course.
The Institute has given a commitment to work with UWS and other partners on this critical issue. We will endeavour to keep all members updated with progress on this.
