Bachelor of Environmental Science – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
You will learn about the biogeochemical processes that occur in both natural and degraded environments and specialise with a minor in either environmental chemistry or environmental biology.
You can also choose to minor in geoscience (environmental engineering) or geospatial science, or gain a breadth of knowledge across all the minors, depending on your preferred career pathway.
Over the course of your studies, you will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, gaining:
- considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field
- frequent field trips during second and third year
- working on collaborative projects with industry.
Many of these activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to research and projects.
