Bachelor of Science (Environment and Heritage Management)

Land and Heritage Management investigates issues of global significance, especially the human impact on the Earth, the management of valuable landscapes, and the planning of cities and regions. This program at UOW includes the opportunity to undertake practicals and fieldwork, taking advantage of the local Illawarra environment including urban and heritage landscapes, coastal landscapes, rainforest escarpment and freshwater ecosystems. Students will learn skills in logical and critical thinking, creative problem-solving, practical research skills, organisation and project management, numeracy, statistical literacy, computer skills and strong communication. This specialist program combines Physical and Human Geography with relevant subjects to provide the skills and knowledge required for employment or research on both cultural and natural heritage issues.
