About
This course focuses on the Earth's 4 main systems - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere.
You’ll learn about the process that occur in both the natural and degraded environments. You can choose to complete a minor in either environmental chemistry or environmental biology.
You may also choose to specialise in a second minor study area or broaden your knowledge by selecting sources from areas like geosciences or geospatial science.
