An Environmental Science major will provide the springboard for students in entering careers or research in the following areas: environmental consulting, natural resource management, environmental and chemistry. Graduates will be prepared for these pathways by developing skills in risk assessment and environmental monitoring, which are crucial to being prepared to make contributions in laboratories, or in consulting roles and in environmental management. This major will integrate knowledge from a range of disciplines from Biology through Earth Science to Chemistry, by enabling students to complete a sequence of specialist subjects in each, as well as integrated subjects in which the students develop an understanding of the application of scientific principles to solving current environmental problems. Students will gain experience preparing them for the workplace by participating in group based reviews of environmental management plans and by conducting multidisciplinary practical assessments of environmental issues. Course structure The Bachelor of Science requires the successful completion of 24 subjects (300 points), including a major. Most students study eight subjects each year (usually four subjects in each semester) for three years full-time. The 24 subjects must comprise: 18 core science subjects (225 points) made up of At least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 1 (usually first year), at least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 2 (usually second year) and 6 subjects (75 points) at level 3 (usually third year) which includes 4 subjects of your chosen science major. 4-6 breadth subjects (50-75 points) With at least 1 subject at both level 2 and level 3. And up to 2 elective subjects (25 points) either science subjects or breadth subjects at level 1, 2 or 3. Career outcomes The Bachelor of Science is a great first step towards your dream career. Whether you have specific goals in mind or you're exploring your options, we are here to support you.
