Course overview
The Bachelor of Environmental Management combines the study of:
- physical geography, the earth sciences and biology (which explain how environmental systems work and how human activities impact on these systems)
- social sciences (which explain the causes of this impact and how our environmental behaviour can be better managed to minimise this impact).
Fieldwork is taken in a number of disciplines, including vegetation measurement, mapping, geographical information systems, water quality and riparian assessment.
You will:
- be trained in environmental monitoring and analysis
- be trained in the economic and social evaluation and appraisal of environmental impacts
- gain a set of strong transferable skills highly regarded by employers.
Graduates will be prepared to work with business, government and community decision-makers, often in multi-disciplinary teams, to make practical contributions to the resolution of environmental problems.
