Summary

The Bachelor of Environment explores critical environmental systems and processes, relationships between humans and their environments, and the interactions that influence sustainable futures. It's founded in the scientific aspects of the environment, the effects of human-induced changes, and the management of resources. You'll become highly knowledgeable about how individuals, societies and governments can best navigate a path towards sustainability, and economic and social prosperity. With huge growth projected in the environment sector in the coming years, this skill set will see you in high demand. The broad and flexible Bachelor of Biodiversity and Conservation - which uniquely combines studies in plant and animal sciences, ecology and new remote sensing with environmental and conservation management - will equip you with such specialist skills.
