COURSE DESCRIPTION
The environment is a complex, interdependent system of the atmosphere, water and soils, and the plant, animal, and human communities that rely on them.
Effective solutions to environmental challenges are dependent on science. Specialising in Environmental Science and Management you’ll learn how the environment works, and how we interact with it both on a daily basis and as part of large institutions and organisations. You will gain interdisciplinary knowledge in water and earth sciences, ecology, policy, law, and environmental management, and learn how to integrate this knowledge to sustain healthy environments.
You’ll apply your knowledge with hands-on field and laboratory based practical learning that will bring scientific principles to life. Tap into your passion for the environment and gain real-world skills that will give you an edge in future employment.
