Pursuing my goals
in science and the
environment
“
Leaving high school, I had a
few interests but wasn’t sure
what I wanted to study, so the
idea that I could get a taste of
subjects from different career
paths appealed to me. The
Bachelor of Environments gives
you the chance to make up
your mind in frst year about
what career path you would like
to pursue, and offers electives
to broaden your knowledge of
other disciplines.

COURSE STRUCTURE
In frst year you’ll take six Bachelor of
Environments interdisciplinary subjects,
which will enable you to make an
informed decision when choosing your
major at the end of frst year. There are
three compulsory subjects (Natural
Environments, Reshaping Environments
and Urban Environments) and three
subjects selected according to your
interests. It is recommended you
consider two or three majors you are
interested in and ensure your study plan
includes the required frst-year subjects
for those majors. This gives you the
fexibility to test your interests but still
keep your options open.
In second and third year you’ll take
nine subjects that comprise a major as
well as elective and breadth subjects.
Through your major subjects you
will progressively build a depth of
disciplinary focus and fnish with a
capstone subject that integrates the
knowledge you have gained throughout
your major.
