Major overview
If you receive excellent results throughout your undergraduate Environmental Management and Sustainability degree, you may be eligible to undertake Honours in Environmental Management and Sustainability.
This is an additional year of study designed to further the knowledge you’ve developed throughout your undergraduate Environmental Management and Sustainability course.
Working closely with an academic, you’ll undertake an intensive research project on a topic of your choice, and further develop your research ability through an advanced research skills unit.
Murdoch prepared me incredibly well, not just for the science, but for the reality of the work.
