Environmental Science
Welcome
The Bachelor of Environmental Science is a professionally oriented, multidisciplinary program that enables students to acquire a broad base of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in unique environments of the Northern Territory. It includes a strong focus on environmental science and management in tropical and desert environments in Australia and the region.
The course provides students with a thorough knowledge of environmental science and management, together with the ability to access information efficiently and apply scientific methodologies.
Students explore the significance of human impacts on environmental change, including climate change and variability, population pressure and resource utilisation, water resources, invasive species, loss of soil health, modified fire regimes, as well as relationships between people and their landscapes. A feature of this course is the opportunity to study environmental management from an indigenous perspective.
Graduates gain employment in professional areas of environmental science and environmental management, or to proceed to higher levels of research training.
