Environmental Science Degrees
Environmental scientists measure and record features of the environment and study, assess and develop methods of controlling or minimising the harmful effects of human activity on the environment.
Environmental science is often offered as a major in science degrees.
This is the case at Monash University - Science
and Uni Melbourne - Science.
