Description

The Certificate in Environmental Science is a non-award course available as a UniAccess-Australia program.

The aim is to provide an opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to study a selection of units of interest to them in a program that offers a pathway to an award course. The course is offered on a fee-paying basis and is available to Australian students (UniAccess-Australia).

This course is designed for students interested in a broadly-based program. Students study subjects relating to environmental issues, relevant sciences, information and communication skills.

All applications will be considered on the basis of academic merit.
