314523 v.1 Environmental Science Major (BSc Science)
Introduction
Environmental scientists manage human impacts on the environment through the application of expertise in the physical and biological sciences to generate innovative and sustainable solutions to environmental issues. This may involve skills such as monitoring the impact of industrial, urban and agricultural development, measuring and analysing pollutants, developing conservation and management plans, and conducting research. Graduates will be able to apply a flexible and multifaceted approach to environmental problem-solving through their scientific knowledge, research capability and practical skills in disciplines such as environmental impact assessment, geology, chemistry, water resource management and conservation biology and sustainability.
