Bachelor of Health Sciences / Bachelor of Science Conjoint - Environmental Science

The University of Auckland

The BHSc/BSc allows you to develop your interest and knowledge about the government's role in determining health policy, alongside how wealth systems function, and how biological and social bases of ill-health exist in our communities. Coupled with your passion for Science, the duality of the degree can provide fertile ground to delve deeper into these issues from the perspective of statistics, psychology or even environmental science. Enhance your BHSc with complementary courses in Science to enrich your skills and learning experience, and become a key player in the health sector. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country.Environmental Science seeks to use a range of approaches to better understand and solve environmental problems. From studying the environmental effects of human activity to applying scientific knowledge and skills to preserve and restore our natural heritage – Environmental Science seeks solutions to pressing environmental problems. You will focus on real-world problems, the biological, chemical and physical processes that underlie them, and ways in which humans interact in these issues. You will gain skills in understanding and processing scientific information. You will analyse and model environmental data, and communicate that information, including the risk and uncertainty involved in it, to better preserve and restore our natural environment.
