    Bachelor of Biodiversity and Conservation

    About

    The survival of all life on earth depends on properly functioning ecosystems. Without biodiversity, ecosystems break down. When this happens, our water systems, the air we breathe and the environments in which we grow food are all impacted. Conserving the environment has become a global priority, and those with specialist skills in not only reducing our footprint but also identifying strategies for preserving our rich diversity are in demand.

    The broad and flexible Bachelor of Biodiversity and Conservation – which uniquely combines studies in plant and animal sciences, ecology and new remote sensing with environmental and conservation management – will equip you with such specialist skills.
