Your subject choices can allow you to specialise in different aspects of conservation, water or natural resource management. Focus on conservation and you'll develop advanced knowledge and skills in landscape rehabilitation and restoration and ecosystem management. Choose natural resources to address novel and complex natural resource problems creatively and innovatively. Or if your passion is addressing trends in water supply, climate change and risks to water resources in Australia, the water resource management stream is for you. Whichever route you choose, you'll learn from lecturers with extensive experience in the field.
This course is offered online - with everything from lectures and tutorials to assessments online and available whenever it suits you to fit them in. Some subjects also include a residential school. Residential schools are an opportunity to come on campus for a few days to study in our state-of-the-art - and sustainably designed - facilities.
The course focuses strongly on real-world situations. You can choose from a pool of biophysical and ecological sciences and management subjects. This allows you to tailor your degree to suit your career aspirations.
On completing your environmental management certificate, you could work to conserve and improve habitat conditions and the health and wellbeing of natural ecosystems through the design and delivery of restoration projects. You could also help build sustainable agricultural enterprises and practices through your understanding of Australia's unique agricultural systems and the environments that support them. Or you could focus on environmental science and secure a niche in a growing industry.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
