Program Overview

The Bachelor of Environmental Studies (Honours) degree exemplifies a commitment to research-led education. Building on the Bachelor of Environmental Studies, honours allows the exploration of research possibilities in a broad range of study options from natural ecological and earth system processes, to environmental management, resource use and policy, to cultural ecology and the history of environmental change, perception and philosophy. It gives you preparation for professional life or a higher degree by research through the development of an advanced knowledge of the research principles and methods and theoretical concepts of your discipline, and through the design and implementation of a research project that develops new understandings or provides solutions to complex problems. Honours Specialisations are available that mirror the teaching and research strengths at the ANU in environmental studies.
