Overview
This four-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) combined degree brings together the terrestrial aspects of environmental management with marine science and management. It aims to produce graduates who can manage the environment for future generations. The degree focuses on building scientific knowledge and practical skills in land and water management, and flora and fauna conservation, as well as having an emphasis on field training in a range of tropical and subtropical coastal and marine environments.
| Graduate Attribute | Course Learning Outcome |
|---|---|
| Intellectual rigour | Demonstrate skills of critical analysis, and application of scientific methods in environmental and marine science and management Make decisions and exercise informed judgement in relation to environmental and marine science and management |
| Creativity | Demonstrate imagination, initiative and enterprise in problem-solving Respond creatively to intellectual, professional, environmental and social challenges |
| Ethical practice | Evaluate issues with reference to sound ethical frameworks and sustainability Demonstrate well developed judgement on principles of social justice and professional standards |
| Knowledge of a discipline | Demonstrate broad and coherent knowledge of environmental and marine science and management Apply disciplinary knowledge and skills in professional and community settings Demonstrate in-depth knowledge in one or more disciplines, or areas of practice |
| Lifelong learning | Demonstrate cognitive and technical skills in self-managed learning Critically reflect on practice Demonstrate information literacy skills |
| Communication and social skills | Communicate clearly and coherently knowledge and ideas in environmental and marine science and management contexts Collaborate effectively on personal, scholarly, and professional terms |
| Cultural competence | Demonstrate awareness and respect for cultural diversity and the relationship between people and their environment |
Students have the opportunity to undertake an eight-week industry internship during their studies for practical experience to supplement the theory components of the course.
- Coastal Management provides insights into processes that affect our use of the coastal zone. Students explore the impact of climate change, land use planning, protected area management, economics, and people in the coastal environment.
- Environmental Resource Management prepares graduates to work in areas such as protected area management, catchment management and environmental restoration. Students learn how to conduct wildlife surveys, conserve fauna and flora and rehabilitate degraded land for future generations.
- Fisheries and Aquaculture Management integrates fisheries, biology, stock management, habitat protection, and aquaculture studies with environmental management. Students focus on developing strategies to maintain a sustainable fishery/aquaculture enterprise. Some third year subjects for this major will be taught as intensive residential courses at the National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour.
