Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours)
University of Wollongong - Wollongong
Overview
Build practical and multi-disciplinary scientific skills when you study environmental science at UOW. You will learn how to assess, research and manage a wide range of environmental issues while you provide solutions to emerging environmental problems.
What impact do humans have on the interaction between the living and non-living elements of the world? How do we solve the environmental issues our future societies face? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you develop the skills to meet the needs of tomorrow's employers.
Design the career of your choice as you build highly competitive skills through enquiry-based learning. You will benefit from faculty members who are some of the best in their fields, driving cutting- edge research and solutions to global issues. You will learn core fundamentals in the first year of your degree before deciding which major discipline to focus on from the second year. You will participate in practical classes in our purpose-built Sciences Teaching Facility and be exposed to honours-level content integrated throughout the course as you explore topics such as climate change, biodiversity and more. Throughout this degree, you will gain hands- on experience, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity for practical fieldwork-based projects, or traditional research projects.
