Bachelor of Applied Science (Parks, Recreation and Heritage)

Associate Degree in Applied Science (Parks, Recreation and Heritage) [exit point only]

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Applied Science (Parks, Recreation and Heritage) aims to produce graduates who can apply basic scientific principles to the management of Australia's natural and cultural resources for the purpose of conservation and recreation.

CSU's Bachelor of Applied Science (Parks, Recreation and Heritage) has been training rangers for more than 30 years. With the continued involvement of NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service to develop the course, we know the key skills that all rangers require - a strong understanding of the environment around us, and the ability to interact with the human element. This is so that national parks can be enjoyed by as many people as possible, while at the same time some of the most unique environments on earth are conserved and protected.

Students may choose to exit with the Associate Degree in Applied Science (Parks, Recreation and Heritage).

What will I learn?

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 to help you understand your role in conserving and protecting the natural environment, because you can't manage the environment if you can't manage people.

This course includes practical experience through workplace learning.
