Bachelor of Science (Environmental and Conservation Sciences)

Combine your passion for the environment with a strong scientific understanding as you learn how to manage and preserve environments and biota under threat both in Australia and around the world. Focus on a field of science that interests you – Conservation and Wildlife Biology, Environmental Science and Management or Marine Biology. In this course you will develop a deep understanding of environmental and conservation theory, gain practical experience and build connections with industry and the community, to ensure you have the skills needed for a career in managing the environment and conserving threatened species and communities. You will develop practical, creative-thinking, problem-solving, and data-analysis skills, both inside, and outside the classroom, helping solve some of the world’s most complex problems. You will also contribute to real-world research projects at our on-campus conservation category wetlands and banksia woodlands or at exciting locations across Western Australia, including our iconic coastlines or our diverse bushlands.

You might also choose to expand your career prospects even further with a double major in a complementary scientific area or a double degree in another discipline, such as law, business, management or communications. Gain hands-on experience in the field which interests you the most, including learning in industry-standard laboratories and participating in real field research projects. You’ll get to explore our on-campus conservation category wetlands and woodlands, where native plants, turtles, quenda and Carnaby’s black cockatoos are your classmates. Be taught by environmental practitioners and internationally respected experts – so each day is a unique adventure.
