Description

Environmental Science is concerned with the application of pure and applied sciences to the various environmental issues that face our planet. This includes areas such as environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity, water resources, climate change and issue of environmental management. The Environmental Science program and the majors in the BSc and BSc(Adv) incorporate both depth and breadth of study in various key fields of science, in addition to interdisciplinary areas such as environmental law, economics and public policy. These programs also link into the major research areas undertaken by various Schools and Research Centres in the Faculty of Science. The programs also make use of UNSW’s research field stations.

Environmental Science programs open up diverse career opportunities, including research, policy-making in government agencies, industry management or community consultancy. The programs are also designed to develop valuable generic skills that will be useful in any professional setting.
