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.
