Bachelor of Environmental Science (Environmental Management) provides students with a broad-based knowledge of the functioning and management of the complex interactions between the biological, physical, social, economic and political worlds. Environmental managers work with natural, rural and urban systems and their natural and human communities. They monitor environmental health, to guard against the degrading impacts of overuse and waste disposal, planning activities and developing policy to achieve the best outcomes for the environment and for society. Graduates will gain the knowledge and skills to be effective managers of all facets of our natural environment. Students can also undertake an elective course of study in Park Management.
Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) provides theoretical and practical expertise in a range of discipline areas, such as wildlife ecology, landscape and vegetation management, biodiversity and conservation, animal biology and park management. Content will focus on ‘real-world’ problem-solving and applied solutions to wildlife and conservation issues. Students will graduate from the course with strong theoretical and discipline-specific skills and will be immediately able to make a contribution in a highly dynamic field of employment. The course will offer a unique combination of study options. It will also give students professional experience, through experiential learning options, such as working with active researchers, undertaking compulsory internships with professional employment organisations such as Parks Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment as well as the opportunity to be mentored by environment professionals in resume development and interview techniques.
