Bachelor of Environment

Climate change and the environment are two of the top concerns of our time. Environmental scientists and managers play important roles in addressing environmental issues, such as air, water and land degradation; ecosystem health; pollution and contamination; management of natural resources; and species extinction. Key to this is understanding environmental processes, relationships between humans and their environments, and the interactions that influence a sustainable future. This degree explores critical environmental systems and processes, relationships between humans and their environments, and the impacts and interactions that influence sustainable futures. Its foundations are based firmly in the scientific aspects of the environment and earth, the effects of human-induced changes, the management of our precious resources and the socioeconomic issues relating to environmental matters. As a result, you’ll become highly knowledgeable about how individuals, societies and governments can best navigate a path towards a healthy environment and, in turn, towards sustainability, and economic and social prosperity. This skill set, coupled with the huge growth projected in the environment sector in the next five years, will see you in high demand.
