Sustainable Coasts

• Explore the biological, geographical, and social effects of coasts and surrounding urban and natural environments, and find sustainable solutions for their preservation and ongoing use.
• Examine long-term effects on coastal climates, including rising sea levels, erosion, over-fishing, and debris pollution.
• Practical work including field trips to UC’s field stations, and work experience in your final-year of studies where you apply your learning as part of your degree.
• The Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours is accredited by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) to deliver environmental practitioners for roles in industry, government, education and research, and the community.

Sustainable Coasts graduates are in demand due to the range of environmental issues we are facing as a result of climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Completing this degree will give you the knowledge to help solve these environmental issues.

In addition, you will have developed a range of skills including collecting and analysing data, developing mitigation plans, and evaluating and responding to environmental policies and plans.

Some career pathways could include:

• Environmental scientist
• Field technician
• Resource management officer
