Bachelor degree
IELTS 6.5 or above. Students with an IELTS below (or any area below 6) will undertake an intensive language course (DEAP course) prior to their place being available.
The Bachelor of Applied Science (Professional Honours in Environmental Management) is designed for those with a 3-year Bachelor degree to undertake honours-level studies in environmental management. It is appropriate for students wishing to add an environmental focus to an undergraduate degree from any discipline, or those wishing to further develop knowledge and skills in environmental management.
The course provides a broad, interdisciplinary approach to environmental management, and articulates to the Master of Applied Science (Environmental Management and Spatial Science) and also the Master of Protected Area Governance and Management. This course will allow you to expand your knowledge of natural and cultural values and the social, cultural and institutional contexts in which environments are managed. You will learn some practical approaches to managing ecosystems that include the methods used to address issues associated with biodiversity conservation and sustainability.
Field-based activities are important parts of the course that allow you to integrate knowledge and apply it in practice. Examples of field-based learning include bushfire work in the University Reserve, management planning for the Three Capes Track (southern Tasmania), and studies of the role of urban greening in your local urban area.
We focus on real world case studies to explore the issues and solutions experienced by industry. Our links with potential employers, such as local councils, consultants and state government can provide you with connections to start you on your career path. You have the option to do a placement with a government, private sector or community-based organisation, which provides valuable skills you would need for a career in the environmental management sector.

While science career options are wide and varied, they typically fall into three main categories:
Specialist knowledge (e.g., geologist, marine biologist, IT systems developer).
Careers where a broad understanding of science is essential (e.g., science teacher, journalism, policy advisor).
Careers using generic skills obtained during your degree (e.g., public relations, business manager, marketing, government and local councils).
