Bachelor of Environmental Science
This course consists of a four-year full-time,
or equivalent part-time, program leading to a pass or
honours degree of Bachelor of Environmental Science. All
students complete common first and second year programs.
In third and fourth years students specialise in one of
the four strands:
Earth Sciences
Land Resources
Life Sciences
Pollution Control
The awarding of an honours degree is based on the student's
performance in selected subjects offered in third and
fourth years of the course. Students will be informed
of the subjects on which the Honours assessment is based.
