This course is designed for individuals committed to addressing climate change through the protection and management of vital species and ecosystems. Choose this degree to become part of a proactive community at the forefront of environmental solutions.



This course stands out with its hands-on approach, offering in addition to theoretical and lab-based learning, extensive fieldwork and professional internships that distinguish it from similar programs. You'll gain practical experience in diverse environments and work placements in renowned research labs.



You'll also acquire a robust foundation in environmental biology, blending core scientific subjects with specialised knowledge in ecosystem management, biodiversity, and advanced technical skills like GIS and remote sensing. The course also emphasises science communication, ensuring you can articulate complex concepts to various audiences.



Learning is dynamic and interactive, combining classroom theory with practical lab work and field studies in natural settings. You'll engage in real-world data collection and environmental assessments, guided by leading academics. Internships, co-designed curricula, and industry projects further connect you with the professional sphere.



As a graduate, you will be able to pursue careers in scientific research, environmental policy, education, or advocacy, working with organisations in environmental protection, sustainability consulting, government, education, tourism, or research.


Course features



  • Complete a series of common core subjects that underpin all undergraduate UTS Science degrees. Data, Design and Decisions and Scientific Perspectives for Global Issues are designed to equip students with a toolkit of technical and workplace skills, preparing them to thrive both at and after uni.
  • Environmental science subjects: Combine the study of general science subjects with specialist environmental subjects spanning aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, plant physiology, biodiversity conservation, wildlife management and environmental protection, among others. Students also build highly practical skills in areas like urban resilience, geographic information systems and remote sensing, preparing them to take hands-on action towards a more sustainable world.
  • Free electives: Students can customise the degree to suit their personal or career aspirations. Enrol in an international exchange, pursue a professional internship, or tailor the degree with a choice of subjects from any UTS faculty.
  • Science communication: The embedded English language program challenges students to build science communication skills over the life of their degree. By the end of their studies, students will have specialist theoretical and practical skills, as well as the capacity to communicate what they know to a diversity of audiences.
