Saving the world. It’s a growth industry.

If you have a passion for science, sustainability and want to play a part in solving the environmental problems facing our society, the Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management is for you. You'll learn to understand and combat the critical issues placing a growing strain on the earth’s natural resources such as climate change, human impacts, and the biodiversity crisis.

Right on the doorstep of the Hunter Valley mining belt, the Hunter wetlands and 300 kilometres of NSW coastline, our region offers vast environmental diversity and provides the perfect environment for you to gain practical experience out in the field.

Majors

Ecosystems and Biodiversity

When you study a major in ecosystems and biodiversity your degree will focus on ecology, ecosystems and conservation practices. Offered within the Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management degree, this major will enable students to study a variety of courses across the core science alongside their specialisation in ecosystems and biodiversity studies.

Natural Resources and Hazards

The study of natural resources and hazards focuses on understanding the mechanics of our planetary environment. Students will apply “systems science” to their study of the Earth’s spheres, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere and impact of human activity upon them.

Coastal and Marine Science

71% of the earth is covered in ocean. So, it’s 100% worth saving. Australia is responsible for approximately 16.1 million square kilometers of coastal shallows and ocean floor including the conservation of resources, control of pollution and management of species in these areas.

Sustainability

Students who choose to study a major in sustainability will focus on how to achieve a balance between using and conserving natural resources. Within the scope of the sustainability major you will learn about human geography, ecology, social research, globalization, tourism and much more.
