Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science

Build on your existing knowledge of environmental science through this team-based program, combining theory with practical laboratory and fieldwork skills.

Learn about environmental management, economics, law, communications and sustainable development.

Spend time in our on-campus, state-of-the-art laboratories, giving you experience in laboratory practice and procedures as well as the foundations of environmental science with chemistry, hydrology, ecotoxicology and ecology.

Besides the environmental science learning, you’ll cross-train with other disciplines, like social sciences and humanities. This helps you become better able to analyze and solve problems around complex environmental issues.

Hands-on research

If you're enrolled in the 12-month on-campus option, you will work on a hands-on environmental consulting project over 11 months of your program. You'll collaborate with sponsor organizations to design, budget, conduct and report on your research, giving you a suite of practical and in-demand skills.

These projects are the perfect opportunity for students entering the environmental field to graduate with relevant work experience and a project to highlight their abilities to potential employers.

Once you have completed this program, you'll have a broad range of technical, communication, analytical and interpersonal skills, together with a firm grounding in environmental science.   

These skills set you up for success in environmental consulting, environmental management for industry, business, non-governmental organizations and municipal governments, as an environmental policy advisor, mediator for stakeholder groups, or in environmental monitoring or regulatory compliance.
