Third year In the Senior year, there are again 2 Environmental Science courses offered to students. These courses move away from the science towards the human factors of ethics, law, planning, and economics and how these relate to our conception and use of the environment around us. Also covered are topics in alternate energy, sampling and ecotoxicology, environmental assessment and conservation ecology. Honours An Honours program is available which requires students to undertake a year of study and research and the writing of an Honours thesis based on this work. Environmental Science students are expected to select a topic that has an environmental emphasis and is preferably interdisciplinary in its scope.
All courses involve some level of practical field work both in the Sydney region.
Honours students may travel further afield to conduct their research.
