Bachelor of Environmental Science

In this degree, you will learn about processes that occur in the environment and choose to specialise in either environmental biology or environmental and analytical chemistry. The environment faces threats and challenges that include climate change, habitat loss, emerging contaminant and pollution events, and food and water security. The breadth of these challenges requires a combination of knowledge and skills in ecology, chemistry, biology, statistics, research and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to overcoming these difficulties.  In this course you will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, where you will:  gain considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field undertake field trips during the second and third year work on collaborative projects gaining hands-on experience.  These activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to projects and research.
