Honours Bachelor of Environmental Science - Biology

The study of environmental issues is becoming increasingly multidisciplinary, taking into consideration socio-economic, cultural and political actions and consequences in addition to scientific analysis. This Environmental Studies program will provide students with the background to understand and evaluate environmental issues and solutions from a multitude of perspectives. They will gain the business skills, scientific expertise and practical experience needed to solve modern environmental and sustainability challenges.

The Environmental Studies programs contain a core of common courses, plus courses required for a major in one of three disciplines: • Biology • Earth Science • Geography

Biology is the study of plants, animals and the diversity of life in an evolutionary context.
