Key Summary
Environmental management is of growing importance in the daily operation of private and public sectors. Throughout the past few decades, new environmental tools have emerged to enable policymakers and decision-makers to deal with environmental challenges presented in their planning and operation, including environmental accounting, environmental risk assessment and environmental management system certification. At the same time, the establishment of environmental regulation in different jurisdictions makes it necessary for different sectors to comply with different legal and regulatory requirements. This multidisciplinary program is catered for students who have a strong interest and dedication in environmental management and sustainability.
Program Aims
The BSc in Integrated Environmental Management [BSc(IEM)] programme offers our next generation a multidisciplinary and comprehensive training encompassing science, computing, socioeconomic and regulatory dimensions, enabling graduates to deal with environmental issues from different perspectives.
The programme aims to provide students with solid training in both scientific inquiry and social sciences inquiry so that they can understand the nature and complexity of the environmental challenges faced by humanity. Upon the completion of the programme, students will be able to apply professional knowledge to manage a broad range of environmental issues in the real world.
