Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (Honours)
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
This degree combines the essential elements of environmental science with environmental engineering. You will learn to understand interactions in the environment and how to design solutions to environmental problems. As a double degree graduate, you will be uniquely placed to work in a variety of industries and roles, with a combined understanding of the science and the ability to design technical solutions. In your final year you will choose your minor study in environmental biology, environmental chemistry or groundwater engineering.
