Gain the scientific knowledge and practical experience in ecology, conservation, environmental toxicology, natural resources and decision science to understand and manage our changing Earth.The Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours) is a four-year program that will teach you how to describe, monitor and predict environmental processes and the effects of human activity on physical and biological environments.Combine your scientific skills with knowledge of the legal, political and social aspects of environmental management, and undertake extensive practical, field and research experiences to be well equipped for a career in environmental science.Major in one of four different options: Earth Resources, Ecology and Conservation, Environmental Toxicology, or Natural Resource Science. Build your science knowledge in the first three years and apply that knowledge to an independent project in year four.Graduate with a respected honours qualification that will set you apart in the job market and provide a pathway to future research or learning. You'll be ready to apply the principles of scientific investigation to environmental problem-solving.Environmental scientists investigate and analyse ecosystems to identify local and global threats to our environment, and provide advice and practical science-based actions to solve identified problems.FAST FACTSResearch strengthens teachingOur experts share their knowledge and the latest discoveries to keep you at the cutting-edge. Our research in environmental science was ranked 12th in the world and first in Australia by subject in the 2017 QS World University Rankings.BEYOND THE CLASSROOMFieldwork broadens your knowledgeDepending on your major and choice of electives, you will participate in field-based activities and research opportunities in diverse subtropical and tropical ecosystems .WATCH OUR VIDEOPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEThought leadersOur researchers are...
