CSU's Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management develops the scientific and industry skills to prepare graduates for employment in the wide variety of disciplines within the area of environmental science.
This course focuses strongly on field instruction and includes an industry internship in the final year. Extended field opportunities, global perspectives and international field expeditions develop graduates who have the skills to tackle national and international environmental issues.
Studies in ecology, wildlife management, vegetation management, aquatic science, geographic information systems, environmental assessment and the earth sciences are complemented by studies of the human dimension, including Indigenous land management, environmental policy and natural resource management.
Best practice procedures in environmental management are rapidly becoming international rather than national. As the course incorporates an international study tour in the final year, a world of possibilities are available for graduates in terms of employment, while also presenting challenges such as interacting in different languages and with people of different cultures. Learning about these differences first-hand is one of the most rewarding experiences a student can have. As the global economy grows, so does the need for graduates who are competent in the international arena. While few Australian students do study abroad, those who choose an international experience are rewarded with tremendous professional opportunities. An international experience is life-changing.
This course includes practical experience through workplace learning.
After satisfactorily completing 24 specified subjects (after a minimum of three years study), students may elect to leave the course and graduate with the Bachelor of Environmental Science.
To make sure you are experienced using the equipment and techniques found in the workplace, our facilities include:
The course has been developed in close conjunction with industry and through involvement with the internship program that students undertake in their final year.
Industry partners include the Murray Darling Basin Authority, the NSW Conservation Trust and the Murray Catchment Management Authority.
Meritorious students will be invited to undertake the integrated Honours option, which involves an intensive year of field based study in a specialist area of environmental science. Projects examining environmental issues nationally or internationally, often working with industry partners, provide advanced level research and problem solving skills relevant to industry, and also to a career in environmental science and/or research.
