The Ecosystem Science major focuses on the science and technologies associated with the function and management of ecosystems, via two specialisations in urban ecosystems and forest ecosystems. The major integrates knowledge from a range of disciplines including plant sciences, soil science, hydrology, ecology, design, engineering and the social sciences, by enabling students to complete a sequence of subjects in each specialisation. Students will also complete an integrated capstone subject in which they develop skills in site analysis, the collection, integration and analysis of data, and the evaluation and presentation of management plans. Students will gain to experience prepare them for the workplace by participating in group research projects and working groups. Course structure The Bachelor of Science requires the successful completion of 24 subjects (300 points), including a major. Most students study eight subjects each year (usually four subjects in each semester) for three years full-time. The 24 subjects must comprise: 18 core science subjects (225 points) made up of At least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 1 (usually first year), at least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 2 (usually second year) and 6 subjects (75 points) at level 3 (usually third year) which includes 4 subjects of your chosen science major. 4-6 breadth subjects (50-75 points) With at least 1 subject at both level 2 and level 3. And up to 2 elective subjects (25 points) either science subjects or breadth subjects at level 1, 2 or 3. Career outcomes The Bachelor of Science is a great first step towards your dream career. Whether you have specific goals in mind or you're exploring your options, we are here to support you. During your three years in the Bachelor of Science, you will have multiple opportunities to engage with industry and explore career paths that suit your skills and interests.
