Introduction This degree will give you skills and the practical learning you will need to address the pressing environmental issues we face — in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally. Various disciplines of science intersect in this programme to create a layered understanding of complex sustainability challenges we face — for example in freshwater resources, marine contamination, coastal erosion, biosecurity, natural disasters, and climate change. You will assess impacts resulting from disasters, ecological change, and human activity. The BEnvSci(Hons) is accredited by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) to deliver environmental practitioners for roles in industry, government, education and research, and the community.
