The University Council considered a report from the Quality Assurance and Gender Committee on the reinstatement of the Bachelor of Environmental Sciences noting that:

- Following the restructuring of Academic programmes, it was recommended that the BSC Meteorology, Bachelor of Geographical Sciences and Bachelor of Environmental Sciences be merged into one programme.
- The Department of Environmental Sciences appealed against the decision to merge the programmes and requested a reinstatement of the Bachelor of Environmental Sciences since the graduates had different focuses and competencies.
- The Quality Assurance and Gender Committee considered and recommended that the Bachelor of Environmental Sciences be allowed to continue running as a standalone programme.
Accordingly, the Council resolved to approve the reinstatement of the Bachelor of Environmental Sciences (BEVS) as a standalone academic programme.
The course will be under the Department of Environmental Management, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAEs).
