Overview

Environmental scientists manage human impacts on the environment through the application of expertise in the physical and biological sciences to generate innovative and sustainable solutions to environmental issues. This double degree offers students the opportunity to study Environmental Biology alongside a wide range of majors from the Faculty of Business and Law. The combination of these two degrees provides a broad knowledge base leading to the opportunity for diverse career opportunities both in Australia and overseas. Students enrolled in the double degree program may transfer to a single degree course in one of the two disciplines at any time, although time to complete the single degree will be a matter of discussion with the relevant Head of Discipline.

On completion of the 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.
