BA/BS in Environmental Science

This Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science introduces the scientific study of the natural world and the methods used to address the environmental problems it faces, building students' ability to identify human impacts on earth systems and to evaluate responses to them. Coursework develops the interdisciplinary skills graduates need for careers spanning conservation biology, pollution prevention, and protecting, restoring and managing both aquatic and land-based ecosystems, culminating in independent research work. The degree takes three years and 360 credit points at the Lautoka and Nabua campuses. Entry requires a Year 13 pass of at least 200 of 400 marks with a 50 percent minimum in English, mathematics and two further science subjects (biology, agriculture, physics, chemistry or geography), or a Foundation Science GPA of 2.00 or higher; older applicants who already have relevant work experience may also be considered for a place.
