In their final year, students carry out a major independent research project and may also do advanced coursework.
The BEnvSc is designed as a 4 year (full-time) program. There is also an opportunity for students to combine the BEnvSc with a Bachelor of Arts by taking a 5 year program. Students who are unable to complete the BEnvSc may transfer to the 3 year Bachelor of Science and graduate with a BSc with a major in one of the environmental areas. Stage 1
