Undergraduate
Bachelor of Environmental Management
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Bachelor of Environmental Management combines a compulsory core sequence with a choice of disciplinary majors spanning biology, earth science, ecology, environmental chemistry, geography, and marine and coastal science, plus directed electives, building a strong scientific education for environmental science careers or research. Beyond the scientific graduate attributes shared with the standard Bachelor of Science, graduates learn to place environmental science within the broader policy, legal, economic and social context of environmental regulation and management, rather than treating environmental science as a purely technical discipline. The three-year program allows progression into an Honours year in the Bachelor of Science (subject to entry requirements, usually a credit-level weighted average mark) or combination with the Master of Environmental Management for students wanting postgraduate-level qualification. It suits students who want environmental science training explicitly connected to real-world policy and regulatory contexts, rather than pure environmental science without that applied dimension.
