About
The Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment combines a focus on ecosystem protection and management. Students gain broad knowledge and professional skills to work within the social, economic and regulatory systems that intersect with and impact ecosystems. Students choose a major in either environmental or marine biology. Studies focus on the foundational components of natural systems, how these systems work and how detrimental impacts can be assessed and recovered.
This course gives students a thorough understanding of the way living organisms function in terrestrial and aquatic environments, acquisition of skills to study them and the ability to detect and assess detrimental effects on the environment (eg climate change, pollution and human resource use). Students learn these skills and concepts through a dynamic combination of theory, field and laboratory experiences.
Excursions and studios with industry and community partners undertaken in the latter years of study provide opportunities to consolidate knowledge, apply new skills to creative solutions and learn through experience.
