With a major in Environmental Health you’ll find yourself working toward creating thought-provoking and dynamic work environments which lead to safer and healthier communities.

 

The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the places we live, work and play all have major impacts on our health and well-being. The Environmental Health major will equip you to explore the diverse range of natural and built-environment challenges that confront us, from the mitigation of human health impacts of global climate change through to the more localised issues of air and water quality, waste management, food security, environmental noise and healthy communities. The major areas of study addressed within the major include air pollution; community studies; emergency management; environmental regulation and policy; environmental monitoring; environmental planning; environmental protection; epidemiology; food safety; noise, occupational environment; risk assessment; sustainable environmental management; toxicology; urban development and water pollution.
