环境生物学学士课程重点关注生态系统的保护和管理，以及实地考察期间的实践经验。积极从事针对气候变化和可持续性等环境问题的研究解决方案的讲师向学生介绍最新发现。研究重点是自然系统的基础组成部分，这些系统如何工作以及如何评估和恢复对自然系统的有害影响。该课程使学生对生物体在陆地和水生环境中的功能方式有了透彻的了解，掌握了研究它们的技能，以及发现和评估气候变化，污染和人力资源使用等对环境的不利影响的能力。学生通过理论，现场和实验室经验的动态结合来学习这些技能和概念。
Climate change is the singular issue of our time today, the planet is facing its ultimate test. Become part of the solution with a degree that prepares students to protect and manage the critical species and ecosystems that hold the key to the future.<br><br>Like most degrees of its kind, the UTS Bachelor of Environmental Biology combines theoretical and lab-based learning, but it's what happens outside the classroom that really sets it apart. The extensive fieldwork program challenges students to test their skills in a variety of aquatic and terrestrial environments, while professional internship offerings can help kickstart their career with placements in leading university, government, and industry labs.<br>Course features<br><br>Complete a series of common core subjects that underpin all undergraduate UTS Science degrees. Data, Design and Decisions and Scientific Perspectives for Global Issues are designed to equip students with a toolkit of technical and workplace skills, preparing them to thrive both at and after uni.<br>Environmental science subjects: Combine the study of general science subjects with specialist environmental subjects spanning aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, plant physiology, biodiversity conservation, wildlife management and environmental protection, among others. Students also build highly practical skills in areas like urban resilience, geographic information systems and remote sensing, preparing them to take hands-on action towards a more sustainable world.<br>Free electives: Students can customise the degree to suit their personal or career aspirations. Enrol in an international exchange, pursue a professional internship, or tailor the degree with a choice of subjects from any UTS faculty.<br>Science communication: The embedded English language program challenges students to build science communication skills over the life of their degree. By the end of their studies, students will have specialist theoretical and practical skills, as well as the capacity to communicate what they know to a diversity of audiences.<br><br>Careers<br>An environmental science degree can lead directly into a scientific career or into a diversity of professional opportunities in the world beyond the lab. From scientific and research roles to policy, education and advocacy positions, students could find themselves working for: environmental protection and/or management organisations, environmental/sustainability consulting firms, government agencies, schools, tourism bodies or universities and research institutes,.<br><br>Specific job titles include but arent limited to education officer, environmental consultant, environmental officer, parks manager, policy officer, research scientist, scientific officer, science communicator or science educator.
