Bachelor of Science (Biodiversity and Conservation)

Biodiversity and Conservation is available as a specialisation within Flinders' Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science (Honours) degrees. Flinders' science degrees are flexible and permit students to move between degrees and specialisations easily. Biodiversity is the study of all living organisms in the environment, the range of different species that are found in each place and the methods that we can use to manage ecosystems to conserve as many of those species as possible. It is a broad field and so, by design, this course offers the opportunity to combine skills in conservation biology with complementary skills in areas such as computing, chemistry and/or geographic analysis. This course is built around knowledge of the core sciences that are crucial to understanding the world's amazing diversity but students' specific interests will also govern the exact program.
