Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management

Career opportunities

Society depends on the environment and, as society grows and develops both in Australia and globally, the forestry, mining, tourism, transport, energy, agriculture, fisheries and manufacturing industries will continue to need graduates with a knowledge of environmental science, and skills in environmental management to minimise the impact on the natural environment and in turn maximise economic and social sustainability. The Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management at CSU has a strong focus on ecological processes at the landscape scale to provide our graduates with the broadest possible skills to develop solutions to some of the world's most important environmental issues.

Government agencies and departments are big employers of our graduates, ensuring development of resources on public land is sustainably managed, and private industry and consultants also require our graduates to ensure businesses are environmentally responsible and sustainable. Additionally, graduates find employment as environmental scientists and ecological researchers where their careers are focused on exploration of new knowledge to address environmental issues nationally and internationally.

Graduates have found positions as field ecologists, biodiversity officers, ecological assessment officers, environmental consultants, national park rangers, sustainability officers, natural resource managers, catchment manager, fisheries officers, environmental scientists, water resource managers.

As the course involves training in international environmental issues, and includes the international field experience, graduates are well placed to apply for graduate positions with Australian Government's AusAid program, and other international environment and development organisations.
