Overview

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) - Environmental Science B.Phil programme from The University of Western Australia encompasses both the biological and the earth sciences. Environmental issues are many and varied so the use of an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving is essential.

You'll develop techniques in scientific modelling to achieve practical solutions to these problems. Environmental scientists deal with issues such as land degradation and rehabilitation, flora and fauna, habitat destruction, deforestation, energy and mineral depletion, air and water pollution, soil erosion, and groundwater contamination.

It is envisaged there will be up to three overnight field trips (costing up to $500 per student to cover the cost of food and accommodation for around 10 nights).
