Overview

Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) (Environmental Science)

In this new, embedded honours-specialised course, you will study alongside a small cohort of high-achieving fellow science enthusiasts for four years. 

You'll be immersed in real-world research from your first year in authentic research environments with leading QUT researchers and projects.

An understanding of the mechanisms controlling environmental systems provides the skills required to undertake a great range of scientific, environmental planning and management and tackle problems such as:

Local water quality and ecosystem impacts, soil erosion, catchment and groundwater use, or adaptation to global climate change

We rely on our natural environment to sustain our lives and our lifestyles. 

We continually need to improve our understanding and management of the natural environment to balance our development with wise management while minimising impacts and degradation.

Real-world learning

Research is the science practice, and this course has been designed to give you access to authentic research environments. 

You will use state-of-the-art research facilities from your first year in cutting-edge research contexts. 

You will have opportunities to undertake embedded WIL experiences or internships throughout your studies, engaging with research groups, industry partners and translational research.
