Environmental science is a practical and multi-disciplinary science that spans the biophysical, Geo-chemical and social sciences and focuses on the interaction between the living and non-living elements of the world, including the role of human impacts.
Environmental scientists assess, research and manage various environmental issues and provide solutions to emerging environmental problems that face current and future societies.
These include climate change, biodiversity, water quality, resource management, waste and pollution and environmental protection and conservation.
The Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours) at UOW integrates material from various disciplines relevant to the environment and its management.
These include science, engineering, management, law, technology and social science.
You will be equipped with the knowledge of ethical, social, economic and political aspects of environmental issues.
You can specialise in one of the majors after your study commences: Climate and Sustainability, Land Resources, Wildlife and Conservation.
The superb local marine life, coastal landscapes, nearby rainforest escarpment, and fresh-water and terrestrial ecosystems mean that Wollongong is ideally located for environmental science studies.
Students are exposed first-hand to a wide range of urban, rural and ecological issues during practical fieldwork components of the degree.
You will graduate with real-world experience and be ready for a career in government, educational and research organisations, private industry, and consultancies.
