The Bachelor of Environmental Management program contains a core sequence of compulsory courses, a choice of disciplinary Majors and choices from a group of Directed Electives. The Majors include Biology, Earth Science, Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, Geography and Marine and Coastal Science. The aim of the program is to provide a strong education in the skills and knowledge necessary to work or carry out research as an environmental scientist. In addition to the graduate attributes applicable to 3970 Bachelor of Science, graduates of the B. Env. Mgmt. will need to be able to place their understanding of the scientific aspects of the environment within the general context of the policy and legal framework of environmental regulations, as well as economic and social dimensions to environmental policy and management. The B. Env. Mgmt. is designed as a 3 year (full-time) program. There is also an opportunity for students to continue onto an Honours year in Program 4500 Science (Honours), if they satisfy the entry requirements (usually a Credit WAM) or to combine the B. Env. Mgmt. with the Masters of Environmental Management (Program 8623). Program Structure Students must complete 144 UOC as a standalone program. 1. 120 UOC including: - An approved Major - Compulsory courses - Prescribed Electives 2. 12 UOC Free electives: these courses can be taken from any Faculty of the University. 3. 12 UOC General Education courses: these courses cannot be 'Science' courses. Learning Outcomes Apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the study of the environment, to environmental management and to the solution of environmental problems. Demonstrate depth of advanced knowledge in a specialisation of environmental science and management such as Biology, Earth Science, Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, Geography or Marine and Coastal Science. Work professionally and ethically both as an independent scientist and within teams. Use a range of quantitative methods and technologies relevant to environmental science and management and critically evaluate and systematically analyse data for the purpose of solving environmental problems. Demonstrate broad knowledge of environmental science including interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary competency across the physical and biological sciences and apply this to a wide variety of situations. Review and cogently synthesize relevant literature, and write documents commonly used in environmental science and management. Consider the impact of global diversity and international perspectives on the discipline and practice of environmental management.
