Bachelor of Environmental Science (BP192P6) (047880G):
The environment faces threats and challenges that include climate change, habitat loss, overpopulation, emerging contaminant and pollution events, and food and water security. The breadth of these environmental challenges requires a combination of knowledge and skills in chemistry, biology, statistics, research, and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to surmounting these difficulties.
Students will learn about the biogeochemical processes that occur in both natural and degraded environments and specialize with a minor in either environmental chemistry or environmental biology.
Students can also choose to minor in geoscience (environmental engineering) or geospatial science, or gain a breadth of knowledge across all the minors, depending on their preferred career pathway.
Over the course of students' studies, they will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, gaining:
- considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field
- frequent field trips during second and third year
- working on collaborative projects with industry
These activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to research and projects.
