Description
This course provides students with the opportunity to develop an appreciation of the Earth's natural resources (its flora and fauna, minerals, soils, air, water and energy), an awareness of environmental management issues, and the knowledge and skill base to adequately manage these resources.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will have knowledge of a broad spectrum of resource management issues and strategies used to manage and sustain the Earth's natural resources. Graduates will also have skills and knowledge of scientific principles and concepts in areas of science relevant to resource management, including chemistry, biology, instrumental science and statistics.
Structure
The course consists of a combination of compulsory core units mainly from the disciplines of biology, chemistry and instrumental science, along with a number of specialist units dealing more specifically with industry, resources and their environmental management. Students must complete 108 points of core units, plus 36 points of elective studies, with no more than 60 points of level one units overall.
Requirements
Students must complete all of the following:
Stage one
- BIO1011 Biology I
- BIO1022 Biology II
- CHM1011 Chemistry
- CHM1022 Chemistry
- ENV1800 Environmental science: a Southeast Asian perspective
- SCI1020 Introduction to statistical reasoning

- MIC2011 Introduction to microbiology and microbial biotechnology
- SCI2010 The practice and application of science
- two six-point elective units
Stage three
Award(s) received on completion *
Bachelor of Science (Environmental Management)
* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
