Environmental Science - Wildlife and Conservation Biology

Deakin's Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) gets you out of the classroom and into nature. Learn how to capture and handle native monsters, assess the health of eco systems, survey wildlife populations, develop conservation strategies and even have the chance to go to world wide biodiversity hotspots. Deakin is currently still a pioneer in the science education sector, with this specialised route being the earliest of its kind to be available in Victoria. This class centers around developing real life solutions to world wide wildlife and conservation issues. You'll acquire theoretical and practical experience in wildlife ecology, biodiversity, fire ecology and more. Hone your practical skills through routine field work and a yearly field studies camp and earn valuable industry experience that prepares you for your upcoming career by job placements and work-integrated education programs. Gain practical experience in the field and enhance your skills through placement opportunities with prominent marine and environmental organisations. Develop a deep understanding of how marine ecosystems function and earn skills in modern scientific research methods under the guidance of scientists, all while establishing professional relationships which may help you when you graduate.
