Course Code: B1038 B1039
Murdoch University offers two Environmental Science majors at undergraduate level. Both majors are interdisciplinary in nature and are designed to enable graduates to contribute, as individuals and through their employment, to the identification and resolution of environmental problems. The majors are structured around the themes of air, water, land, biota, people, policy and technology with an integrated environmental management perspective. While Environmental Science students are trained in the scientific approach to environmental management, they are also expected to acquire a wider perspective to appreciate the human factors involved in the formulation and implementation of environmental policy.
