About this course

Designed for future problem-solvers, this double degree brings together scientific knowledge, analytical thinking and the technical skills needed to understand and respond to complex environmental challenges. As global datasets grow and environmental issues become increasingly data driven, you'll be equipped with the tools to interpret information, make evidence-based decisions and contribute to meaningful change. You'll benefit from flexible study pathways, tailored academic support and mentoring as you develop practical skills in unique natural environments. At Griffith, you'll learn in a living lab, as our campuses are surrounded by bushland, waterways and marine ecosystems, giving you direct exposure to real environmental systems with sustainability and environmental responsibility embedded throughout your studies. Highlights of studying the Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Data Science Learn how to collect, analyse and interpret environmental data using industry-standard modelling, programming and visualisation tools. Build strong foundations in environmental systems through extensive fieldwork and practical learning, including labs, ecology surveys, water and soil studies, GIS and immersive field trips. Gain hands-on experience through applied research, industry projects, internships and opportunities to learn in living labs and unique environments, from bushland and waterways on our very own campuses to fieldwork on Heron Island. Develop in-demand data and analytical capabilities valued by employers across government, industry and research. Study an interdisciplinary curriculum spanning ecology, chemistry, data science, management and policy, supported by our long-standing expertise in environmental science education. Double your opportunities with hands-on learning Your studies in environmental science begin with core scientific courses and progress into areas such as biodiversity, climate change, water resources, environmental modelling, data analytics and land management. Fieldwork and practical learning are embedded throughout your degree, helping you make a real impact through sustainability and environmental problem-solving and ensuring you are career-ready. In your data science studies, you'll develop technical and analytical capabilities in programming, machine learning, statistics, data wrangling and predictive modelling.
