Honours degrees in environmental, marine and forest science
Honours degrees in the School of Environmental Science and Management are a fourth year of directed independent study offered to those students who demonstrate a meritorious performance in their undergraduate studies.
The Honours degree may be a completion point for those students who are seeking an opportunity to focus on an area of environmental management and improve their employment prospects. Alternatively, Honours may provide a starting point for entry into postgraduate studies. The Honours student is introduced to research methodology under the close supervision of a member of staff who possesses expertise in that area.
All courses are available from February each year unless marked otherwise.
Particular courses are also available for mid-year commencement in June each year. Contact the School of your course of interest for further information.
A Summer Study Session is available from November each year.
