Environmental Science provides a strong background in key analytical techniques that have contemporary applications such as the handling and interpretation of data and the modelling of real world problems such as global warming. Students may specialise in mathematics and/or statistics as well as taking units from other science/computing related areas or from areas such as marketing, accounting, arts and the social sciences. This will allow a wide range of career options in commercial and government institutions.
