Bachelor of Environmental Science

Whether you want to better understand the environment or protect it, our Bachelor of Environmental Science will equip you with the practical skills, scientific rigour and environmental management decision-making expertise to make a meaningful impact in the field. You will gain knowledge and skills from across the broad environmental science spectrum, exploring environmental issues from social, physical and biological perspectives to be well-prepared for diverse career opportunities in conservation, sustainability, and environmental policy. Your first year of study will focus on core science courses, followed by studies in environmental data analytics, geographical information systems, environmental management and environmental anthropology in your second year. You'll also choose a major that suits your interests and career plans. The final year includes a capstone experience where you can undertake research, engage in an extended fieldwork program, and/or complete an industry placement, so you'll graduate career-ready.
