Why Study Ecosystem Management at UNE?
The UNE has a long history in environmental science with the Bachelor of Natural Resources degree being the first of its kind in Australia, giving the school more than thirty years of research and teaching experience. Our location in the North Coast region of NSW means we have a wide diversity of ecosystems at our doorstep. To the east we have upland plains, temperate and rainforests, and an array of swamps and streams in pristine National Parks leading to populated urban centres in one of Australia’s fastest developing regions. Heading west we find the expanse of the Murray-Darling Basin, with rangelands, irrigated cropping and regulated lowland rivers in a semi-arid climate. Students wishing to study in Ecosystem Management will learn skills in the ecology and management of diverse systems including agricultural and forest landscapes, mining and extractive industries, and wetlands and rivers.
