Passionate about protecting and sustaining the environment?
Sustainability, Ecology, Geography and Environment, Plant Science
A degree in Science is more than just an academic pursuit; it’s a way to develop the knowledge and skills needed to protect and sustain our environment.
The natural world is constantly changing, and science helps us understand how ecosystems function, how human activity interacts with the environment, and how we can work towards a more sustainable future. From climate change and biodiversity conservation to land and resource management, science plays a key role in finding solutions that balance environmental, social, and economic needs.
At the University of Tasmania, you’ll explore these challenges through disciplines such as Sustainability, Ecology, Geography and Environment, and Plant Science. With hands-on learning in one of the world’s most unique natural laboratories, you’ll develop the expertise to help shape a healthier, more sustainable planet.
Science that makes a difference
Scientific research is driving new ways to support resilient ecosystems and sustainable communities. For example, recent research has highlighted that Tasmania’s towering eucalypts are facing increased pressure from changing fire patterns and a warming climate. These trees are vital to biodiversity and carbon storage, and understanding how to support their long-term survival is an important focus for conservation science.
By studying science, you’ll gain the skills to contribute to research and initiatives that help manage and protect our natural environment. Whether it’s restoring ecosystems, tracking climate change, or designing sustainable solutions, your studies will provide you with the foundation to make a real difference.
Be part of the solution
With access to Tasmania’s diverse landscapes and world-class research, you’ll gain the skills and experience to tackle real-world environmental challenges. Whether you’re working in conservation, environmental management, or ecological research, your studies will prepare you for a career focused on understanding and protecting the natural world.
