First Year Course Structure :
The first year of the Bachelor of Environments will provide a foundation for these strands of the learning experience.
Core subjects: These subjects are compulsory. These subjects will introduce them to natural environmental processes and systems and the socio-cultural context in which these occur.
Environments Electives: Students can choose from this list. These subjects will introduce them to other aspects of environments, including their design, planning, production and management, from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Some of these subjects are compulsory for specific majors.
Enabling Electives: Students can choose from this list. These subjects will allow students to meet the requirements in order to achieve accreditation or to meet prerequisites for subjects within their chosen major. Some of these subjects are compulsory for specific majors.
Breadth Subjects: Students can choose from this list. Find out more about breadth subjects below.
The first year subjects, and some second year subjects can be taken by students interested in different discipline areas which can assist them in determining their major. Students will be able to interact and share their ideas to solve real-world problems; learn to work effectively in groups and appreciate the value of collaboration and different perspectives. Thus building a strong foundation for graduates to interact with a wide range of professionals from multiple disciplines.
IMPORTANT: Please refer to your major of choice to ensure you complete the necessary first year prerequisite subjects.
