Bachelor of Environment

Managing the environment and safeguarding it for generations to come has become a key concern of our time. Human intervention is largely behind issues such as deforestation, pollution, global warming and species extinction. But human intervention is also the key to preserving the environment.

While firmly based in the scientific aspects of the environment, this course also focuses on social science and socioeconomic issues relating to environmental matters. This way, you'll become highly knowledgeable about how individuals, societies and governments can best navigate a path towards a healthy environment and, in turn, towards economic and social prosperity.

All applicants for undergraduate coursework studies at Macquarie University are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English.
