General Education Requirements
Honours
Students seeking to enrol in Honours are required to have completed all the requirements for the B. Env. Mgmt. and satisfied all prerequisite requirements for Honours as specified by the relevant School. Students should check prerequisite requirements for Honours with the relevant School and consider potential projects and supervision as early as possible.
It is recommended that students who are granted admission into the BSc Honours Program delay their graduation from 3965 until after they complete Honours and so graduate with Bachelor of Environmental Management in [name of Major completed] and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in [name of Honours Plan completed].
The completion of Honours is a typical pathway for students who wish to undertake a postgraduate research qualification.
The B. Env. Mgmt. and Honours in Environmental Management is also articulated with the Masters of Environmental Management (Program 8623) and the nested Graduate Diploma (Program 5499) and Graduate Certificate (Program 7339). Students who have completed the B. Env. Mgmt. may receive recognition of prior learning and some Advanced Standing in these postgraduate coursework programs.
Academic Rules
2. Students must complete a core set of courses in the B. Env. Mgmt. that totals 120 UoC. This core must contain 60 UoC from the compulsory course list plus one approved Major and courses from the Directed Electives list such that the compulsory courses plus approved Major plus Directed Electives totals 120 UoC. The remainder of courses for the single degree are Free Electives (that may be taken from any Faculty of the university) and General Education.
3. Students must complete all courses on the compulsory course list, an approved Major and Directed Electives to total 120 UoC. Please note that a course can only count once across these three categories: if a course is completed as a compulsory course or within an approved Major you must take additional Directed Electives so that the compulsory courses, approved Major and Directed Electives totals 120 UoC.
4. The 60 UoC of compulsory courses in the B. Env. Mgmt. Program are listed under “Program Structure” above.
5. The approved Majors in the B. Env. Mgmt. Program are:
7. The Directed Electives in the B. Env. Mgmt. Program are:
- ARTS1240 Environment & Society (6 UoC)
- ARTS1241 Environmental Advocacy and Activism (6 UoC)
- ARTS2240 Environment and Development (6 UoC)
- ARTS2244 Rethinking Wildlife (6 UoC)
- ARTS3241 Environmental Justice (6 UoC)*
- ARTS3242 Environmental History (6 UoC)*
Students who do not undertake the Geography approved Major in the B. Env. Mgmt. can also use the following courses towards their Directed Electives:
- GEOS2241 Peak Carbon: Climate Change and Energy Policy (6 UoC)
- GEOS2641 Urban Environments (6 UoC)
- GEOS3921 Coastal Resource Management (6 UoC)
8. No student may normally commence Level 2 courses until 24 UoC Level I have been successfully completed unless approved by the Program Convener or Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs).
