A Diploma in Science (DipSc) is a great option to learn a variety of scientific skills in a single year. This Diploma allows you to study interesting science courses, upskill in new areas, and gain professional development in your career. Study Involve: Study a wide range of Science subjects, from beginner's to advanced level. This Diploma can be studied full-time in 1 year, or part-time for up to 6 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Bachelor of Science with the ability to transfer your completed courses to that degree. Environmental Science is the study of the natural world, its ecosystems, and our interactions with it. This knowledge is particularly important today as we focus more on biosecurity, sustainability, natural disasters, and global climate change. Study Involve: UC operates field stations at Cass and Kawatiri Westport where you will do fieldwork and research. Study Environmental Science in many ways - either as Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours, a major within the Bachelor of Science, or as a minor within other bachelor’s degrees. The Bachelor of Environmental Science with Honours is the only degree of its kind in Aotearoa, and is accredited by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) to deliver environmental practitioners for roles in industry, government, education and research, and the community.
