Bachelor of Environmental Science

Studying a Bachelor of Environmental Science at Griffith will arm you with the skills and knowledge to help make a difference to the environmental challenges of the 21st century and contribute to building communities for the future. You’ll gain knowledge and skills from across the broad environmental science spectrum, exploring environmental issues from social, physical and biological perspectives. After completing core science courses in your first year of study, you’ll choose a major that suits your interests and career plans. The final year includes a ‘capstone’ experience where you have the option to engage with university research, undertake an extended fieldwork program in your major, or complete an industry placement.

Griffith offers a number of admission pathways to your preferred degree. If you don’t meet the minimum ATAR/selection rank for this degree, you will automatically be considered for a place in the Diploma of Applied Science/Bachelor of Environmental Science. This means you may receive an offer into the Bachelor of Environmental Science which is conditional on successful completion of the Diploma of Applied Science at Griffith University. Upon successful completion of the Diploma of Applied Science you will be transferred into the second year of the Bachelor of Environmental Science program.
