It is 'assumed' that you have completed 2 unit Mathematics when undertaking this course. The course has a strong applied maths component as much of the course work is quantitative. You should have a sound 2 unit Maths background. Students with Maths in Society backgrounds should complete a 2 unit Maths Bridging Course. Bridging courses in Maths are offered by the University's Maths Learning Centre and take place in February before commencement of the semester.
Students receive more information on bridging courses on Information Day and during enrolment.
You don't need us to tell you about the growing importance of the health of the environment , the quality of our drinking water, the need to preserve of plant and animal species and whole ecosystems . And the pressure on our natural resources will intensify further. The problems will not be solved by science alone. Tradeoffs have to be made. It costs to have a clean environment.
