Program Overview The Bachelor of Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary degree which provides graduates with theoretical and practical skills to find employment in fields related to ecologically sustainable development (including both the human and natural environment). The program is based upon an holistic understanding of environmental problems and processes; develops practical skills to solve environmental problems; provides an appreciation of the roles of environmental planning, environmental law and advocacy and lays the foundations for graduates to effectively communicate with environmental stakeholders. The program is designed to ensure students combine the insights of the chemical/biological sciences with those of the humanities/social sciences and other disciplines. Courses from degree-level disciplines including business, mathematics and engineering may be available as electives. Level 1 provides a foundation in environmental studies as well as developing generic skills in the sciences and social sciences/humanities. Level 1 courses emphasise the multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies. Level 2 and Level 3 courses provide progressive specialisation. Considerable scope is allowed in the choice of electives such that students can develop a particular emphasis in science, humanities/social science, occupational health and safety, or in other fields. Alternatively, students may opt for a broad-based degree with a range of advanced level courses. Bridging courses are available for students who do not have a strong background in biology or chemistry, or who have been away from study for an extended period. Entry to Honours and postgraduate courses are available in some discipline areas, subject to meeting entry requirements. Intending honours students should seek information from the staff in the relevant discipline area before they complete their final year enrolment. Program StructureTo satisfy the requirements of the award, students must complete 24 courses or 144 units of credit as outlined below.
