Study Ecology and Conservation Biology to broaden your understanding of how organisms interact with each other and their environments. Choose to specialise in conservation biology, marine ecology or evolutionary ecology. Gain real-world experience in solving ecological problems by conducting fieldwork in a range of rainforest, outback and marine environments. Ecology and conservation biology are vital for solving the environmental challenges our society is facing today. You'll be equipped to tackle global issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, diminishing natural resources and the environmental impacts of human activity. In your final year, you'll undertake an independent research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor - essentially giving you a research apprenticeship. You may choose to tailor your specialisation with a major or minors from a broad range of scientific and non-scientific disciplines to suit your interests and career goals.
