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 flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning and offers you the choice of five specialisations. You'll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions to today's complex problems. And you'll be equipped with the skills you'll need to mix it with history's greatest engineers - maybe you'll have the honour of creating the next lifesaving medical device, a clean water system for remote communities in Africa, or a mobile phone app that keeps children safe.
