Environmental Science is one of the general subjects in higher education. Students must have a better grasp of the competencies and skills necessary in promoting conservation and protection of the environment. The use of Modular-Based Approach (MBA) during the Covid-19 pandemic proved that there is still a better means to deliver learning even in these trying times. This study aims to explore the students’ perception on the use of module for environmental science suited for the pandemic period. A semi-structured interview was conducted to extract perceptions of students taking up Environmental Science subject for the A.Y. 2021-2022 on the MBA. Results revealed the following themes which can be of great reference for future researchers and module writers. Theme 1 – The Modular Based Approach needs connectivity. Theme 2 – Learning opportunities and better understanding. Theme 3 – Communication is the key. Theme 4 – Learning outcomes take time. Theme 5 – Feedbacking is essential. The findings of this study can be a reference in considering the use of module not only in the Environmental Science course but also in other subjects in college during difficult times.
