Careers

With heightened community awareness, there is an increasingly wide variety of career paths available to graduates of CSU’s environmental science courses.

As the Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management 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.
