Bachelor of Environmental Science

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 chemistry, biology, statistics, research and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to overcoming these difficulties.

Over the course of your environmental studies, 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 frequent 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.
