Bachelor of Science (Science) - Environmental Biology and Ecology

Curtin University

The expertise of environmental biologists is essential for understanding and mitigating the impacts of land degradation, ecosystem disruption and species decline caused by activities such as resource extraction and land-use change. In this course, you will gain deep knowledge in zoology, botany, ecology and genetics, with a focus on how living systems respond to and influence environmental change. You’ll develop environmental monitoring skills through field activities, alongside laboratory and computer-based skills. You'll also learn experimental design and statistics, and develop the critical-thinking and communication skills needed for environmental research.In your final year, you'll complete your studies with a capstone experience that provides hands-on experience in field or laboratory data collection and environmental problem-solving. Together with a work-integrated learning unit, these experiences will ensure that you can apply your expertise to real-world environmental issues as soon as you graduate.
