CSU's Bachelor of Environmental Science prepares graduates for employment in the wide variety of disciplines within the area of environmental management.
You can make a difference in environmental management. Management of our natural environment is the single greatest challenge of the future. The need for new ideas and fresh management approaches has never been greater. You can be part of the solution to the world's environmental problems.
Over the past few years, the environment has been raised higher and higher on the political agenda, both nationally and internationally. This increased environmental awareness has led to unprecedented growth in employment in the wide variety of disciplines covered by environmental management.
The course focuses strongly on field instruction and real-world situations. Studies in ecology, wildlife management, vegetation management and the earth sciences are complemented by studies of the human dimension in order to understand your role in conserving and protecting the natural environment, because you can't manage the environment if you can't manage people. For this reason, a major focus of the degree is learning how to apply the scientific knowledge to real-world situations that involve people.
Different specialisations allow students to focus on areas of particular interest after their first year of study. The following specialisations are available:
