313907 v.1 Environmental Biology Double Degree Major (S&E)
Introduction
This Environmental Biology double Degree major has a strong practical emphasis, with students often being able to undertake work with members of the outside community, thus establishing a strong bridge between the University and potential employers. There is a requirement to participate in field trips for many of the course units. This gives students ample opportunity to observe organisms in their normal habitats, with the greater depth of understanding that this brings.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
None. Mathematics 2C/2D and a science course of study level 3A/3B are desirable.
