What will I learn?

Summary

The Bachelor of Environment explores critical environmental systems and processes, relationships between humans and their environments, and the interactions that influence sustainable futures. It's founded in the scientific aspects of the environment, the effects of human-induced changes, and the management of resources. You'll become highly knowledgeable about how individuals, societies and governments can best navigate a path towards sustainability, and economic and social prosperity. With huge growth projected in the environment sector in the coming years, this skill set will see you in high demand. Macquarie's world-leading Bachelor of Ancient History - the longest-running and broadest of its kind in Australia - allows you to immerse yourself in the culture and languages of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds, both on campus and at archaeological dig sites overseas.
