This program has a strong focus on tropical and subtropical environments and peri-urban areas, making it highly relevant to the region as well as job prospects. Students can specialise with a range of minors such as coastal and marine environments, climate change adaptation, planning studies, environmental health, geospatial analysis and environmental geography. There are many opportunities for authentic learning experiences with field work activities in locations such as Fraser Island, Noosa Biosphere and Bribie Island, as well as field trips to local sites such as water treatment plants, coastal engineering works, and nature reserves. Students will also have the opportunity in final year to undertake a work placement or advanced research project, giving them necessary practical experience to enter the job market or pursue further studies.
