Bachelor (Honours)
The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Environmental Science offers training in research and introduces advanced areas of study in a range of fields in environmental science including marine biology, environmental forensics and environmental biology.
There is a broad range of career options including professional environmental scientist or consultant, environmental and resource management, communications and media, National Parks ranger, and academic scientist.
The major component of the course is a research project that extends over the full duration of the course and normally takes the form of an experimental or analytical investigation, undertaken either in the laboratory or the field. Candidates may also be required to undertake one or more critical reviews of the scientific literature in designated areas and to attend formal classes devoted to advanced coursework. The results of the project are presented in an oral seminar and in a written thesis, both of which are formally assessed.
