An ability to communicate effectively – through various media and with people from a wide variety of backgrounds;
An appreciation of the significance of soils and water and the ability to carry out basic analysis;
The ability to critically analyse results of research and investigation, and to present clear and statistically sound data;
The ability to prepare and present formal written reports and;
An understanding of the range of computer applications relevant to natural resource management including remote sensing and geographic information systems.
Career Opportunities
Past graduates of the Environmental Management degree have high professional recognition and have been widely placed with statutory bodies in industry and, in particular, organisations involved with natural resources such as flora and fauna, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and conservation. Graduates have obtained positions with government authorities, including the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and Agriculture Victoria, as well as with private groups.
