Bachelor of Environmental Management (Honours)

This program bridges the gap between science and management, incorporating fundamental biophysical science with social science and multidisciplinary skills in environmental management, decision making and policy analysis. The final capstone year of the degree focusses on integrating and applying the research and core knowledge skills acquired in the first three years. In this year students will develop their ability to manage complex real-world problems that affect a range of environments, from natural through to urban and industrial settings. Students with an adequate GPA from the first 3 years of study may elect to undertake an individual research thesis in their fourth year, or opt to undertake the industry oriented group research project. Study will go beyond a sound understanding of the natural sciences to include the techniques and approaches necessary to effectively integrate biophysical, social, cultural, economic, legal and management factors into solutions to complex environmental problems.
