Bachelor of Science (Science) - Environmental Science

The sustainability of human life depends on the health and function of our natural environment – which requires a deep understanding of environmental systems and the practical skills to manage them. In this course, you will study natural environmental systems, restoration and environmental management, as well as the technical skills of remote sensing. You’ll also learn how to apply your expertise to inform environmental policy.Throughout your studies you’ll engage with leading Curtin researchers in the areas such as landscapes, soils, oceans, environmental monitoring, spatial sciences and environmental geoscience. And, in your third year, you’ll complete a research project in environmental science or spatial sciences, mentored by Curtin research staff.This course also offers the flexibility to study a double major or specialisations in other disciplines to broaden your STEM knowledge and skillsets. These include agriculture, marine science, chemistry, data science, earth sciences, mining, mineral processing, and environmental biology and ecology. After completing your studies, you’ll have the expertise to help meet Australia’s growing need for scientists who can oversee environmental monitoring and restoration, and contribute to sustainable development and resource management.
