Bachelor of Science (Science) in Environmental Science (Portfolio Entry)
Curtin University - Bentley
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 may involve skills such as monitoring the impact of industrial, urban and agricultural development, measuring and analysing pollutants, developing conservation and management plans, restoring degraded environments and conducting research. Graduates will be able to apply a flexible and multifaceted approach to environmental problem-solving through their scientific knowledge, research capability and practical skills in core biology disciplines and one of 4 specialist streams in Wildlife Biology, Restoration, Environmental Chemistry, or Genetics.
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.
