This environmental science program studies the physical, chemical, and biological processes that take place on Earth, as well as the social, political, and cultural processes that impact the planet.

Nowadays, human impact is a major variable of environmental change both at the local and global levels. The management of this impact is of crucial importance for human, social, and economic well-being now and in the future. Environmental management requires explicit scientific knowledge as well as social, political, and economic analysis skills. This program demonstrates how such skills can and have been applied in a wide range of environmentally important settings.

The Master of Environmental Science (MS) program objective is to help students develop expertise in the application of economics to problems of environmental and natural resource use and policy. The Master of Environmental Science program is offered online via distance learning. After evaluating both academic records and life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty and Academic Advisors will assist students in setting up a custom-made program, designed on an individual basis.

Our MSc Environmental Design of Buildings aims to develop knowledge and evidence-based expertise in the design of comfortable and healthy environments in and around buildings, responding to climate, and with due regard to sustainability issues. Full-time, part-time and distance learning options (which are particularly suitable for professionals working in the field) of this course are offered.

BA (Honours) in Environmental Studies issues are posing multiple challenges to people and ecosystems across the planet. These challenges can only be addressed effectively if the complex connections between the societal (social, political, economic, cultural, and ethical) and the biophysical (geological, physical, ecological) dimensions of environmental issues are taken seriously.

Academic research for this program must provide a comprehensive study of ecology and environmental science.

This BSc (Honours) in Environmental Science (Environmental Management) course is a specialist route through our BSc (Honours) Environmental Science (Q52) that focuses on environmental management. It’s an interdisciplinary course that combines aspects of biology, ecology, geography, chemistry, technology, management and social science to help you understand environmental situations from all perspectives.

Environmental science explores the complexities of the natural environment and our relationship with it. This specialist route, available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), takes a holistic approach to the science of our environment investigating topics such as global warming, water resources, pollution and conservation. Our environment is fascinating – but it’s under threat from climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion. Explore the consequences and implications of environmental change for sustainability from a scientific perspective, by learning about the processes, links and interactions operating in different environments.

The Environmental Science Technology, A.S. program focuses on environmental compliance and protection of our land and water at the federal, state, and local levels. Under the direction of an environmental scientist, graduates will be expected to perform physical, chemical, and biological sampling in the field.

Expand your knowledge and skills needed for effective, informed and creative environmental management. You’ll examine current local and global concerns in areas such as environmental protection, legislation and policy, and natural resource management. Develop your skills in analysing the issues and improving environmental performance in all sectors.

The Doctorate of Environmental Science (BS) program helps students develop practical skills and knowledge required to critically evaluate environmental problems and issues, and provide applied solutions.

This Postgraduate Certificate in Environmental Management course addresses the everyday concerns of environmental protection, natural resource management and rapidly changing environmental legislation and policy. You will explore biophysical, social, political and economic factors from local to global level, and develop the skills you need to participate creatively in the process of improving environmental performance in your context.

This interdisciplinary Diploma of Higher Education in Environmental Science combines science studies in biology, geography and chemistry, with aspects of technology and social science to help you understand the whole picture. You’ll study the problems we face in understanding our natural environment and living sustainably, as well as developing your scientific, interpretive and creative thinking skills.

This BSc (Honours) in Environmental Science degree explores the disciplines needed to understand, manage and protect our planet. Assess environmental problems, propose solutions, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural environment. You’ll study topics including conservation, ecology, ecosystems, environmental management and renewable energy.

If you're interested in designing and participating in effective environmental management, this Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Management is for you. It's suitable for a wide range of contexts, from government, commerce and industry to voluntary, local and community organisations. You will consider the everyday concerns of environmental protection, natural resource management and rapidly changing environmental legislation and policy, in global and local contexts - gaining the skills you need to unpack the issues and play an active and creative role in the process of improving environmental performance, in all sectors of society.
