What will I study?
The Bachelor of Environmental Science includes common and core foundation units completed mainly in the first year that provide you with a grounding in biology, ecology, earth systems, statistics and study design and an introduction to current national and global environmental issues.
Course structure
You can then select one or two majors in Biodiversity and Conservation, Water and Landscapes, Spatial and Quantitative Ecology or Eco-cultural Resource Management. Specialist electives include exciting field intensives that offer on-the-ground experience within the spectacular environments of Northern and Central Australia and the Asian-Pacific region. There are also three general elective units which provide additional flexibility and choice. This course can be completed on campus, 100% online or via mixed enrolment, part-time or full-time.
A candidate must successfully complete units totalling 240 credit points (cp) as detailed below. All units are valued at 10 credit points unless otherwise indicated.
Unit type | Credit Points | Specific requirements |
Common Units (2 units) | 20cp | Common units totalling 20 credit points as detailed below. PLUS EITHER: LAL100 Language, Literacy and Sustainability (replaces CUC100 from 2024) OR |
Core Units (7 units) | 70cp | Compulsory Core units totalling 70 credit points as detailed below. ENV101 Earth Systems |
Specialist Electives (12 units) | 120cp | Specialist Elective units totalling 120 credit points including the completion of at least one major. An option to include two majors is also available. Option 1: Single major - recommended for maximum flexibility when choosing elective units, studying online only or to maximise transfer credits |
Electives (3 units) | 30cp | Elective units totalling 30 credit points may include additional units selected from the Specialist Electives or from any other undergraduate units offered by the University. When selecting electives, choose units at a suitable level. The first number in each unit code indicates the year level at which the subject is taught. Undergraduate units are coded at 100 to 300 level, therefore units coded as ENV1xx, ENV2xx and ENV3xx would be first, second and third year units respectively. |
240cp | Total Credit Points |
Course Rules (unless otherwise indicated in the above course structure) (240cp)
- A maximum of 100 credit points may be taken from 100 level units.
- A minimum of 60 credit points must be taken from 300 level units or above.
- See the Higher Education Course Rules (Award Requirements) in the Units and Courses Policy.
If course commenced prior to 2023:

I chose CDU because it has an excellent science course, with lots of opportunities for practical experience in the field. I love the small classes, community feel and the interaction with lecturers that you don't get at larger universities.
Brittany
CDU student
I am very proud that I am now an environmental expert who can work anywhere on this planet. There is nothing that can be done on the development of any projects without environmental experts. So, it is a very promising career.
