Course Summary
A multidisciplinary approach encourages students to be curious about the world around them and apply scientific principles to develop a balanced view of the challenges presented by the utilisation of resources and managing the effects on the environment. Students carry out practical investigations and have the opportunity to participate in field-based excursions that allow them to experience what they have learnt in class in a real world situation.
