About this course

Overview

Human exploitation of the natural environment has taken a serious toll on the planet. Environmental scientists are needed to understand environmental functions and processes and apply this understanding to solve issues such as land degradation, challenges related to urban and regional development, impacts of mining, oil and gas extraction and processing, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The units in this specialization provide the underpinning biological expertise, along with opportunities to develop skills in experimental design, statistics, critical thinking and communication, necessary for undertaking environmental research.

What you will learn

What you'll learn

  • have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in a further field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of environmental biology, GC1
  • can apply their narrower knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within environmental biology, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
  • can gather and interpret relevant data within environmental biology to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with environmental biology, and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
  • display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
