Major study areas for Bachelor of Environmental Science

The degree provides students with a strong science foundation to enable them to complete a major and a minor in different areas of study selected from atmospheric science, biology, chemistry, geoscience or geography. In addition, students study six core units across levels one to three of the course which provide understanding of the regulatory and policy framework, incorporating cross-disciplinary knowledge and technologies. This structure ensures students gain an appreciation of the interdisciplinary skills required in environmental science. A common first year gives students a broad grounding in scientific disciplines and an excellent foundation on which to build. At the end of third year, students choose to undertake either a pass degree involving further studies to complete a second major sequence to broaden and deepen their knowledge, or complete an honours degree that requires them to undertake a research project.
