The Bachelor of Environmental Science is a three-year degree focusing on aquatic science, chemical monitoring and environmental management. The degree combines the disciplines of biology, chemistry, ecology and geography, and complements these studies with data analysis and environmental management.
Graduates of geography and environmental studies have real flexibility of choice in career pathways. Because you will know the world as an integrated whole, and understand the elements of the parts that make up that whole, there’s every chance you will be dealing with all aspects of society and environment. That capacity will make you a valued member of many local, state and Australian government departments – and we need a strong public sector for the challenges we face.
The Bachelor of Marine Science aims to provide students with knowledge, competencies, skills and awareness of a broad range of subjects linked together by the common theme of marine science. This rich and diverse discipline encourages an interdisciplinary approach to biology, chemistry, physics, geology, oceanography, mathematics and social sciences.
The range of professions to which mathematics is applicable is continually expanding. In addition to its more traditional role in modelling in the physical sciences, mathematics is now a key component in the analysis of financial markets, coding and cryptography, the design of computer networks and weather and climate modelling.
The Bachelor of Natural Environment and Wilderness Studies degree uses Tasmania as a natural and social laboratory for the study of wilderness. Over three years students gain a broad understanding of the natural environment while being able to specialise in their area of interest. of interest.
Physics is the fundamental science, the foundation upon which engineering and technology are built.
