Do you have the passion and drive to address the world's environmental challenges? To do so you will need a range of scientific skills and knowledge and an understanding of legal, political and social aspects of environmental management. Through the Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours) you will address these topics and develop skills in systems analysis and planning. Study fundamental environmental processes, the way they can be described, monitored and predicted, and the effect of human impact on the physical and biological environment. Specialise in one of four key areas of Environmental Science - Earth Resources; Ecology and Conservation; Environmental Toxicology; and Natural Resource Science. In each area you will study core and advanced science and regulatory topics, participate in environmental science field trips and complete a substantial research project in either an environmental impact assessment or an environmental audit. As an Environmental Science Graduate you will be equipped to contribute rigorous analyses to environmental decision making and management to address global environmental challenges. Natural resource science focuses on the various components of the landscape (soils, water and vegetation) and on correcting the adverse effects of human use of this resource.

Graduates will find employment in a wide variety of state and federal departments and agencies, including CSIRO, in private industry as environmental officers, or in the expanding areas of mine site rehabilitation and environmental impact assessment. Some example of careers are: Environmental scientist Land rehabilitation officer (mining) Rangeland ecologist Resource assessment officer Waste management specialist River management planner
