Bachelor of Science (Science) in Coastal and Marine Science
Curtin University - Bentley
Overview
This major is cross-disciplinary, as students study climate change, atmospheric and oceanographic science, ecotoxicology, coastal processes and management, advanced marine science and technology, quantitative biology, marine habitat mapping, marine ecology, fisheries science, sustainable aquaculture and environmental impact assessment. The major has a strong focus on developing scientific research skills and, through a range of field, laboratory, project-based and policy-integrated activities, produces graduates with the critical, analytical and communication abilities required in the workplace and for post-graduate studies.
On completion of the three year degree, students who have performed well will be eligible to complete an extra year of study to obtain an honours qualification, BH-SCNCE Bachelor of Science (Honours). The research focus of an Honours degree provides a pathway for career advancement at a higher level than the base degree.
