Welcome to the School of Environmental Science

The School of Environmental Science focuses specifically on environmental science, one of the few schools in an Australian university to do so and the oldest, continually operating School of Environmental Science in Western Australia. In a recent independent review, the School was rated as ‘already in the top rank in Australia, and it has the potential to be acknowledged as the premier Environmental School in Australia’.

The School of Environmental Science offers several degrees in environmental science, including the flagship 4-year Bachelor of Environmental Science. Our educational strength lies in the fact that we have actively maintained a balance in pursuing both 'green' and 'brown' teaching and research in environmental science. That is, we combine the areas of environmental management and policy with relevant aspects of environmental systems and engineering in an integrated degree programme which also provides students with the flexibility to specialise in areas of their interests. Moreover, at Murdoch University, our students can pursue their interests in allied areas such as conservation biology, marine science, chemistry, energy studies, or extractive metallurgy. Consequently, our graduates are well-suited to a rapidly changing public and industry sector.
