The Bachelor of Environmental Science has been running now for well over 20 years. Many of our

graduates have gone on to get great positions in Fisheries, Department of

Primary Industries and National Parks. Our graduates also go into private

industry working in with organisations that do things like environmental impact

statements, monitoring road developments and those sorts of things. One of the

things that we strive to do with our degree is make sure that our graduates

are up-to-date with current industry practice so many of our students spend

eight weeks working with an industry partner. That's a great transition

between being a student and then becoming a professional working in

environmental science and management. In the degree we've got four majors. The

first major is coastal management. In that major what we do is focus on the

impact that increasing population has on the coastal zone. The second one is

environmental resource management and in that major what we do is that we focus

on things like catchment management, mine rehabilitation, the impact that

agriculture has on the environment. The third one is fisheries and aquaculture

management. We not only focus on aquaculture management, we focus on

recreational and commercial fisheries as well, and in that degree we focus a lot

on mitigation and habitat management. Waste management and resource recovery

is a big priority now and it's going to be a priority into the future. What we've

done is designed a major which produces multi-skilled professionals for this

growing area of Environmental Management.
