Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Environmental Geology

Society has become more aware of the seriousness of environmental problems the world faces today and at the same time people have realized that solutions are not simple. No environmental issue can be treated in isolation from the society in which it exists. Therefore, to work in the environmental field, students need knowledge on the cause and magnitude of environmental problems, as well as expertise in planning, policy and other solutions within our complex socioeconomic-cultural world.

Specialization in Environmental Science (Environmental Geology): An intensive, multidisciplinary course of study with approximately two-thirds of the courses within the discipline.
