Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours) in Land Resources, University of Wollongong - Australia

Environmental science at UOW is a practical, multi-disciplinary degree that explores the interaction between living and non-living elements of the world, including human impacts. The program covers biophysical, geochemical, and social sciences, focusing on ethical, social, economic, and political aspects of environmental issues. Students will investigate ecosystems such as freshwater and terrestrial environments, especially around the Illawarra region. The course includes practical classes on campus with advanced technology and off-campus fieldwork studying local marine life, landscapes, rainforests, and ecosystems. The first two years focus on fundamentals and scientific language in maths and statistics, while the last two years allow students to specialise in their chosen major, culminating in an honours research project with external organisations. Taught by leading researchers, the course aims to equip students with skills to meet future employment needs and address real-world environmental challenges.
