Bachelor of Environmental Management
The Bachelor of Environmental Management was offered for
the first time in 1996. It was developed by the School of Geography, Population
and Environmental Management and staff in Environmental Studies at Flinders
University as a three year full-time degree which combines study in the Social
Sciences with a grounding in Biological and Earth Sciences. The emphasis in the
course is on the complex and constantly changing interaction between society
and the environment. Management strategies, to be practicable and successful,
must be founded on this broad integrative approach in which both scientific
understanding and social science insights are combined. The aim of the program,
therefore, is to provide a broad-based knowledge of the processes at work in
our environment and an understanding of the problems facing us in that
environment, together with experience of the strategies which are being used to
provide solutions to those problems. Approximately two-thirds of the degree
program takes the form of a set of core studies in Geography, Environmental
Studies, Economics, Biology and Earth Sciences.
