The Bachelor of Environmental Science with an Environmental Management major introduces students to the multidisciplinary nature of Environmental Management. Environmental Management involves an understanding of the environment, and the knowledge and skills used in its management. The strong management focus of this course prepares graduates for careers in government agencies and industries which deal with conservation of biodiversity, environmental impact assessment, environmental planning and the management and rehabilitation of specific ecosystems such as land, wetlands, forests, coastlines and arid regions.

 

The degree has three main components:

 

1.  A core program of eight units completed in the first year.

2.  A Major program consisting of eight units in Environmental Management.

3.  A Second Major* chosen from the list below:

 

Biological Sciences

Conservation Biology

Environmental Chemistry**

Management of Aquatic Systems

Catchment Management

 

*With permission of the course coordinator an eight-unit Supporting Major from a course offered by another school may be selected instead of a recommended Second Major.

 

** Students who choose Environmental Chemistry as their second major, will need to complete in their first year EITHER SCC1111, General Chemistry unit, OR SCC1123, Chemistry for the Life Sciences AND SCC1226, Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. For the latter option, students will need to see their   Course Coordinator.
