  • Hello I'm Michael Whelan and I'm the course coordinator for the Bachelor of Environmental Science.

  • The Bachelor of Environmental Science has been running now for well over 20 years. Many of our

  • graduates have gone on to get great positions in Fisheries, Department of

  • Primary Industries and National Parks. Our graduates also go into private

  • industry working in with organisations that do things like environmental impact

  • statements, monitoring road developments and those sorts of things. One of the

  • things that we strive to do with our degree is make sure that our graduates

  • are up-to-date with current industry practice so many of our students spend

  • eight weeks working with an industry partner. That's a great transition

  • between being a student and then becoming a professional working in

  • environmental science and management. In the degree we've got four majors. The

  • first major is coastal management. In that major what we do is focus on the

  • impact that increasing population has on the coastal zone. The second one is

  • environmental resource management and in that major what we do is that we focus

  • on things like catchment management, mine rehabilitation, the impact that

  • agriculture has on the environment. The third one is fisheries and aquaculture

  • management. We not only focus on aquaculture management, we focus on

  • recreational and commercial fisheries as well, and in that degree we focus a lot

  • on mitigation and habitat management. Waste management and resource recovery

  • is a big priority now and it's going to be a priority into the future. What we've

  • done is designed a major which produces multi-skilled professionals for this

  • growing area of Environmental Management.
