Certificate in Science in Environmental Science

University of Canterbury

If you want to study science at university level without having to commit to a full-time degree, you might consider the Certificate in Science (CertSc). It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Choose from a range of subjects that suit your specific science interests ranging from Astronomy, to Environmental Science, Medicinal Chemistry, and Psychology. Complete a minimum of 60 points of courses at 100 and/or 200-level from Bachelor of Science subjects. This Certificate can be completed within one semester full-time, or part time for up to 6 years. Courses can be transferred to some degrees and is a great pathway to the Bachelor of Science. Environmental Science is the study of the natural world, its ecosystems, and our interactions with it. This knowledge is particularly important today as we focus more on biosecurity, sustainability, natural disasters, and global climate change. Study Involve: UC operates field stations at Cass and Kawatiri Westport where you will do fieldwork and research. Study Environmental Science in many ways - either as Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours, a major within the Bachelor of Science, or as a minor within other bachelor’s degrees. The Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours is the only degree of its kind in Aotearoa, and is accredited by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) to deliver environmental practitioners for roles in industry, government, education and research, and the community.
