Overview

The Bachelor of Science (Ecotourism) enables students to channel their scientific curiosity and passion for being outdoors into a highly rewarding career. Ecotourism is an emerging area, with growing employment opportunities nationally and internationally. Globally, nature-based tourism now accounts for around 20% of total international travel and is predicted to grow 10-12% per year. The University of Adelaide is number one in South Australia for careers in environmental studies, and graduates of this degree possess the skills and scientific expertise their industry demands. They're able to develop content and tours that describe the natural environment and support visitor enjoyment, as well as advise government, industry and the broader community.

Graduates find employment in local and national government, major tourism bodies and the private sector, or establish their own tourism business. Their roles may include: developing community-based tourism programs; assessing the potential for ecotourism products; providing advice on the design and construct of nature trails; providing education and interpretation.
