Throughout the Bachelor of Environmental Science (Environmental Management and Sustainability) students will explore ways to manage the interaction between people and the environment. Combining the latest research with extensive application of skills in professional, community, lab and field settings, students will devise and implement innovative solutions to protect global natural resources.
Develop the confidence to address some of the biggest environmental issues people face on a global scale by exploring the role science and society play in achieving global sustainability. Fieldwork is a rewarding part of this course and students will get plenty of opportunities to apply their skills in beautiful outdoor and community settings.
Throughout this degree, students will learn about environmental processes within a range of environments, how societies use and value these environments, and the tools available to prevent and manage environmental impacts. Students will consider sustainability from all angles – from resource efficiency and management to environmental policy – and workshop innovative ways to satisfy society’s needs for clean water, fresh air and healthy soil through sustainable use of natural resources.
Fieldwork opportunities take students to a diverse range of sites and environments, from coastal and national parks, to sustainability centers, business and industry. During these trips students will get the chance to practice advanced field skills such as:
- animal and plant identification
- water quality analysis
- use of global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing
- environmental impact assessment.
