Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Environmental Science] From Victoria University of Wellington

This major is taught across the Faculty of Science rather than from a single school, and it can only be taken in partnership with another major in either physical, biological, mathematical or earth sciences (see list below). A Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Environmental Science is one of the highest quality degrees available, providing a broad but rigorous introduction to the general principles of Environmental Science as well as depth in another related area through the partner major.

Environmental Science draws on the wide-ranging expertise of staff in the Faculty of Science at Victoria and in Wellington?s science community. Teaching and research supervision include contributions from Victoria's Climate Change Research Institute, Antarctic Research Centre and local Crown Research Institute staff.

Environmental Science is distinct from Environmental Studies, which is involved with the social and biophysical dimensions of environmental issues rather than the science of the environment. Environmental Science is for students wishing to acquire the mathematical and scientific background necessary to become environmental scientists.
