Specialist Degree

For undergraduate students, a specialist Science degree, the Bachelor of Science (Environmental), has been designed to provide a broad grasp of most aspects of environmental science.

This Environmental degree initially emphasises the science involved before concentrating on management and ethical issues, while still allowing another "major" in a particular field of interest. It is a 3 year degree, but an Honours (4th) year is also available and is actively encouraged.
