Structure
Students will be required to complete the two core subjects, plus choose three subjects from the compulsory specialisation subject list. Students must also take at least 12.5 points of subjects from the compulsory capstone subjects. Students must also undertake electives to make up the balance of the award. The selection of electives is made in consultation with the Environmental Science major coordinator.
A list of subjects with special needs within this specialisation can be found at: http://environment.unimelb.edu.au/courses/streams/environmental_science
To enter the 100 point Environmental Science major, students must have completed an Honours year in environmental science (or equivalent). Exceptions and suitability of these entry requirements are subject to the discretion of the major coordinator and the Office for Environmental Programs Selection Committee.
