Bachelor of Music / Bachelor of Science Conjoint - Environmental Science

The University of Auckland

The diversity of major options available in both Music and Science is a strength of the BMus/BSc conjoint. You’ll be able to pursue both of your areas of interest and structure a degree that’s unique to you. Pushing scientific boundaries requires creative and independent thinking – both of which are fostered by your musical studies – while the discipline and practice of music complements the acute focus necessary for successful scientific research. Understanding data is important for success in the workplace knowing how to process and display data in ways accessible to a varied audience will be key to taking advantage of the emerging career opportunities in today’s data-driven work landscape. The BMus/BSc conjoint offers, for example, the rigour and repetition required for experimentation in the chemical or physical sciences and the analysis of environment that’s a feature in Psychology and Musicology. This kind of duality presents the ideal context for you to become a disrupter by encouraging ideation, agile thinking and collaboration – qualities sought after by employers.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.
