Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) (Environmental Science)

Develop the skills to undertake environmental planning and management, and tackle global issues such as climate change and wildlife conservation. In this new, embedded honours specialised course, you can expect to study alongside a small cohort of high-achieving fellow science enthusiasts for four years. you will be immersed in real-world research from your first year in authentic research environments, with leading QUT researchers and projects. An understanding of the mechanisms controlling environmental systems provides the skills required to undertake a great range of scientific environmental planning and management, and tackle problems such as local water quality and ecosystem impacts, soil erosion, catchment and groundwater use, or adaptation to global climate change. We rely on our natural environment to sustain our lives and our lifestyles. We continually need to improve our understanding and management of the natural environment to balance our development with wise management while minimising impacts and degradation.
