Bachelor of Environmental and Conservation Science Federation University Australia

CRICOS 088140E

Discover how environmental science integrates with the management of conserving and rehabilitating natural and degraded ecosystems.

With a strong focus on the Australian environment, you will explore subject areas such as ecology and wildlife, water and climate, mine site rehabilitation, landscape management and restoration. Learn through practical experiences including fieldwork in arid, coastal and forested areas and gain the knowledge, skills and experience required and encouraged by industry and government departments. You'll also learn about the management, conservation and rehabilitation of our natural and degraded ecosystems.

Areas to explore include ecology and wildlife, water and climate, mine site rehabilitation, landscape management and restoration with a strong focus on the Australian environment. Your electives are just as practical and stimulating, with subjects available including mine site rehabilitation, landscape restoration, fire ecology and land and water contamination.

There is an emphasis on developing professional skills encouraged and required by industry and government departments.

Staff maintain a close working relationship with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), Victoria, and carry out a wide range of research and consultancy activities for other bodies such as Parks Victoria, VicRoads, Landcare groups, Catchment Management Authorities and private organisations. So there are many opportunities for you to become involved and start working in your field.
