Bachelor of Science
The School of Natural Sciences offers degree programs in the environmental and life sciences with a strong emphasis on practical learning and problem solving through laboratory and field work. Each of the School’s programs integrates a sound knowledge of the discipline with the important generic skills of effective communication, information handling and computing.
The programs in Biological Sciences and Environmental Management provide opportunities for students to complete a second major, which is designed to enhance their employment opportunities.
The Bachelor of Science (Environmental Management) 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.
