Bachelor of Environmental Science and Master of Environmental Science

This Combined Bachelor's and Master's (CBM) is a four-year accelerated program for those with an ATAR of 90 or above. Over the first three years you’ll complete your selected extended major in Environmental Science and Management or Environmental Science and Ecology, and some units from the Master of Environmental Science. You can then choose to exit after three years with an Advanced Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science, or continue with the Master of Environmental Science and be awarded a Bachelor of Environmental Science and a Master of Environmental Science at the end of the four years.

By completing this Combined Bachelor's and Master's course you will graduate with both a Bachelor of Environmental Science and a Master of Environmental Science .

In your first three years, you will complete your selected extended major in Environmental Science and Management or Environmental Science and Ecology, which teaches understanding, rational analysis, and improvement of human impacts on the natural world through a critical review of current knowledge, systematic observation, experimentation, modelling, and rigorous data analysis. During this time you will also complete a semester of postgraduate study.

You will then complete a final year of postgraduate study in the Master of Environmental Science . In the master's component you will assess the impact of human activity and develop scientific, risk-based solutions to help secure a sustainable global environment. An interdisciplinary approach to problem solving is essential in this field, meaning that both the biological, earth sciences and studies in environmental planning and management are integrated. This course prepares you to deal with issues such as climate change, water resource management, sustainable natural resource use, and the rehabilitation of degraded or polluted environments.
