Why study the Bachelor of Environmental Management (Honours)?
The Bachelor of Environmental Management (Honours) program prepares you to manage many of the environmental challenges faced by modern society both locally and globally, as we address fundamental issues of sustainability. The 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 you will develop your 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.
Your 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.
What you can study
The program offers two extended majors, Natural Systems & Wildlife or Sustainable Development. Further specialisation in your program, is also possible by taking a targeted range of elective courses. Possible fields of specialisation include: :

Through these experiences you will develop skills and attributes highly valued by employers.
