Biology & Environment stream
An understanding of biology and the environment is at the heart of many significant scientific developments, including solutions to global challenges. This Stream equips you with the fundamental skills and knowledge to understand and work with the complexity and diversity of life, from cellular to ecosystem levels.
A strong practical focus gives you valuable hands-on experience of plants and animals from aquatic, coastal and terrestrial settings and introduces you to approaches for the management and welfare of our natural environments.
The flexibility in the Bachelor of Science degree allows you to explore your interests and pursue many career possibilities:
You can combine this Stream with study in specialist courses such as environmental assessment and spatial analysis to prepare for careers aligned with the monitoring, management and conservation of natural resources.
You can also combine this Stream with more courses in either Environmental Management, Biology or Archaeology to complete a full eight-course Major.
Or you can diversify your career opportunities by combining this Stream with courses in complementary disciplines such as Journalism, Film & Screen Production, Business Studies, Politics and International Relations or Social Justice to form a six-course Minor.
