Leading to: Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Science
As an example, if you combined the Bachelor of Laws with the Bachelor of Science in Forensic Biology and Toxicology, you would learn the most up-to-date techniques to gather, analyse and present scientific evidence, such as DNA profiling and drug metabolism, in a court of law.

If you’re more interested in environmental science and sustainability, you could combine the Bachelor of Laws with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science or Environmental Management and Sustainability. You would explore how to create a better environment for people while sustaining biodiversity and world resources and examine the relationships between air, land, water, plants, animals and people to address the challenges arising from our interactions with our environment.

If you want a future at the cutting edge of Law, combining your Bachelor of Laws with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology will allow you to remain at the forefront of the industry and ahead of demands. You will gain an understanding for people and the impacts that technology has made to our lives and our culture, allowing you to future-proof your career.

Major: Environmental Science and Management
The environment is a complex, interdependent system of the atmosphere, water and soils, and the plant, animal, and human communities that rely on them.

Effective solutions to environmental challenges are dependent on science. Specialising in Environmental Science and Management you'll learn how the environment works, and how we interact with it both on a daily basis and as part of large institutions and organisations. You will gain interdisciplinary knowledge in water and earth sciences, ecology, policy, law, and environmental management, and learn how to integrate this knowledge to sustain healthy environments.

You’ll apply your knowledge with hands-on field and laboratory based practical learning that will bring scientific principles to life. Tap into your passion for the environment and gain real-world skills that will give you an edge in future employment.

3 reasons to study Environmental Science and Management at Murdoch

  • Gain practical experience throughout the course, both in the field and on-campus, including in our on-campus conservation category wetlands and banksia woodland that’s home to more than 200 species of plants.
  • Gain new environmental knowledge through research study that’s embedded in your degree.
  • Study with environmental practitioners and internationally respected experts, including members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

What you’ll learn
Specialising in Environmental Science and Management you'll learn how to sustain healthy environments by building essential skills and knowledge. You’ll graduate with a scientific knowledge base, combined with hands-on experience in real world issues. Topics you’ll cover include:

  • The physical and biological interactions within the environment
  • How human activity affects the environment
  • How effective management of the natural environment draws on this knowledge
  • How to critically analyse issues, solve problems, and communicate effectively with others
  • Current and future environmental issues and how to develop sustainable solutions
