Environmental Science Murdoch University

Effectively managing human interactions with the environment requires a thorough understanding of the inter-relationships between land, water, air, biota and people. As an environmental professional, you'll need a clear understanding of the procedures and skills involved in investigating complex environmental issues in different settings such as urban, mining, agriculture and aquatic.

Upgrade your qualification in Environmental Science, or get the skills and knowledge you need to move into the field if you already work in geology, forestry, agriculture, zoology, botany or planning. You'll gain an in-depth understanding of the science, policies, procedures and techniques of environmental planning and management. When you graduate, you'll have a multidisciplinary understanding of Environmental Science, and be proficient in a range of techniques employed in environmental management.
