4 Indulge a passion such as music or language via our unique breadth subjects

5 Study in our new building, designed specifically to support learning in the built environment disciplines

SHAPE OUR BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTSMelbournes Bachelor of Environments gives you the opportunity to learn how architects, engineers, scientists and designers work together to shape the environments we enjoy every day. Youll collaborate with other talented students on real-world projects, and develop industry knowledge that will set you apart in your future career.

Our Environments students gain practical experience through specialist classes such as field trips, site visits and design studios, and you will also have opportunities to hear from guest presenters from industry and government.

The Bachelor of Environments will equip you with the specialised skills and knowledge you need to help solve the urban and environmental challenges facing us locally, nationally and globally.

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIALIST MAJOR QHaving taken a range of subjects to help clarify and shape your interests, you will be ready to choose your specialist major at the end of first year. Your major is the area of study you will specialise in for the remainder of the degree. You can choose from 10 different majors:

ArchitectureArchitects combine creative vision, innovation, technological understanding and architectural theory to shape how we live, work and play in our built environment. As an architect, you will deal directly with many of the complex challenges facing our world, and will be at the forefront of change and issues of sustainability and resource scarcity. Design lies at the heart of the architectural process, and you will learn to develop your designs using modelling and rendering techniques through studio-based classes and virtual and physical modelling.

ConstructionThe Construction major focuses on the management of people, processes and materials in the construction industry, and how they apply to specific building projects. This is an exciting and challenging time to be working in this field, as technologies are changing rapidly and our built environment has to respond quickly to difficult global environmental and resource challenges. You will learn through site visits and special presentations by industry professionals to deepen your understanding of real world practice.

Engineering SystemsEngineers use creativity, analytical skills and scientific understanding to make things happen in the real world. They shape our essential infrastructure such as roads and public transport, and ensure our communities have access to clean drinking water. This major will offer a fundamental grounding in how the built environment interacts with the natural environment through foundation study in civil and environmental engineering.

Environmental GeographyEnvironmental Geography combines knowledge of natural environments with an understanding of how human societies work in order to address a range of issues and problems associated with environmental management. You will explore ideas of nature and naturalness, such as the ways in which nature is enclosed, exploited, protected or traded, and the main theories and methods used in examining environmental and development problems. You will also analyse policy options for those concerned with environmental management in both developed and developing countries.

Environmental ScienceThe Environmental Science major involves identifying and understanding the causes of environmental problems arising from human activity. It is about learning the role of science in making decisions about how we balance competing demands on the environment, and make efficient use of dwindling natural resources in order to manage the environment sustainably. Our students develop robust, scientifically sound and practical skills to find solutions to real problems impacting the earth.

Landscape ArchitectureLandscape Architecture utilises design and ecology to plan our external environments. It plays an important role in our experience of living, from neighbourhoods, to city squares, urban forests, parks, streets, gardens, and green infrastructure. As a Landscape Architecture student, you will develop skills to create sustainable design solutions to address local and global ecological, cultural and social issues. Studies incorporate studio classes, site visits, and the theory, history and practice of landscape architecture.

Landscape ManagementThe Landscape Management major is designed to give you an understanding of the living and social systems required to plan and manage a range of outdoor environments from urban parks to wilderness areas. Explore the physical and social components of landscapes the flora, fauna, soils, water and people, and the complex relationships between them.

You will gain an understanding of ecosystems while learning how to manage and protect landscapes, thereby generating positive change.

PropertyThe Property major focuses on developing an understanding of the ownership, development, management, feasibility, funding and investment, and occupation of land and buildings. You will learn about contemporary planning issues, trends in the property discipline, and how the application of construction practices and structural design can add value to developments. The mix of disciplines that comprise this course are particularly targeted at industry needs, and have contributed to successful outcomes for our graduates.

Spatial Systems Spatial Systems is the study of the science and technology of 3D measurement, mapping and visualisation, also known as geomatics. It is concerned with capturing, analysing, managing and presenting spatial information. Spatial information experts develop the technology that lies behind search and rescue efforts, GPS, Google Earth and mobile location-based services such as Foursquare and Facebook check in.

Urban Design and PlanningUrban designers and planners are actively engaged with some of the pressing issues of our time, including the impact of climate change, sustainable resourcing challenges, and the pressures of increased urbanisation. Urban design is the art of making places, and is a collaborative process that shapes the physical setting for life in urban areas. Urban planning focuses on the intersection of the built environment and the public interest.

Why choose Environments?

1 Take a range of inspiring subjects and discover your favourites before settling on your major

2 Use case studies around Melbourne to learn about built, social, natural and virtual environments in the real world3 Practise working within teams from different disciplines just as you will in your future career

4 Indulge a passion such as music or language via our unique breadth subjects

5 Study in our new building, designed specifically to support learning in the built environment disciplines

SHAPE OUR BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTSMelbournes Bachelor of Environments gives you the opportunity to learn how architects, engineers, scientists and designers work together to shape the environments we enjoy every day. Youll collaborate with other talented students on real-world projects, and develop industry knowledge that will set you apart in your future career.

Our Environments students gain practical experience through specialist classes such as field trips, site visits and design studios, and you will also have opportunities to hear from guest presenters from industry and government.

The Bachelor of Environments will equip you with the specialised skills and knowledge you need to help solve the urban and environmental challenges facing us locally, nationally and globally.

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIALIST MAJOR QHaving taken a range of subjects to help clarify and shape your interests, you will be ready to choose your specialist major at the end of first year. Your major is the area of study you will specialise in for the remainder of the degree. You can choose from 10 different majors:

ArchitectureArchitects combine creative vision, innovation, technological understanding and architectural theory to shape how we live, work and play in our built environment. As an architect, you will deal directly with many of the complex challenges facing our world, and will be at the forefront of change and issues of sustainability and resource scarcity. Design lies at the heart of the architectural process, and you will learn to develop your designs using modelling and rendering techniques through studio-based classes and virtual and physical modelling.

ConstructionThe Construction major focuses on the management of people, processes and materials in the construction industry, and how they apply to specific building projects. This is an exciting and challenging time to be working in this field, as technologies are changing rapidly and our built environment has to respond quickly to difficult global environmental and resource challenges. You will learn through site visits and special presentations by industry professionals to deepen your understanding of real world practice.

Engineering SystemsEngineers use creativity, analytical skills and scientific understanding to make things happen in the real world. They shape our essential infrastructure such as roads and public transport, and ensure our communities have access to clean drinking water. This major will offer a fundamental grounding in how the built environment interacts with the natural environment through foundation study in civil and environmental engineering.

Environmental GeographyEnvironmental Geography combines knowledge of natural environments with an understanding of how human societies work in order to address a range of issues and problems associated with environmental management. You will explore ideas of nature and naturalness, such as the ways in which nature is enclosed, exploited, protected or traded, and the main theories and methods used in examining environmental and development problems. You will also analyse policy options for those concerned with environmental management in both developed and developing countries.

Environmental ScienceThe Environmental Science major involves identifying and understanding the causes of environmental problems arising from human activity. It is about learning the role of science in making decisions about how we balance competing demands on the environment, and make efficient use of dwindling natural resources in order to manage the environment sustainably. Our students develop robust, scientifically sound and practical skills to find solutions to real problems impacting the earth.

Landscape ArchitectureLandscape Architecture utilises design and ecology to plan our external environments. It plays an important role in our experience of living, from neighbourhoods, to city squares, urban forests, parks, streets, gardens, and green infrastructure. As a Landscape Architecture student, you will develop skills to create sustainable design solutions to address local and global ecological, cultural and social issues. Studies incorporate studio classes, site visits, and the theory, history and practice of landscape architecture.

Landscape ManagementThe Landscape Management major is designed to give you an understanding of the living and social systems required to plan and manage a range of outdoor environments from urban parks to wilderness areas. Explore the physical and social components of landscapes the flora, fauna, soils, water and people, and the complex relationships between them.

You will gain an understanding of ecosystems while learning how to manage and protect landscapes, thereby generating positive change.

PropertyThe Property major focuses on developing an understanding of the ownership, development, management, feasibility, funding and investment, and occupation of land and buildings. You will learn about contemporary planning issues, trends in the property discipline, and how the application of construction practices and structural design can add value to developments. The mix of disciplines that comprise this course are particularly targeted at industry needs, and have contributed to successful outcomes for our graduates.

Spatial Systems Spatial Systems is the study of the science and technology of 3D measurement, mapping and visualisation, also known as geomatics. It is concerned with capturing, analysing, managing and presenting spatial information. Spatial information experts develop the technology that lies behind search and rescue efforts, GPS, Google Earth and mobile location-based services such as Foursquare and Facebook check in.

Urban Design and PlanningUrban designers and planners are actively engaged with some of the pressing issues of our time, including the impact of climate change, sustainable resourcing challenges, and the pressures of increased urbanisation. Urban design is the art of making places, and is a collaborative process that shapes the physical setting for life in urban areas. Urban planning focuses on the intersection of the built environment and the public interest.

GET AN EDGE WITH BREADTHYou can choose some subjects from outside your core study area. We call this the breadth component of your degree. With breadth you can: Develop your interests and discover

opportunities you might never have thought about before

Pursue a skill or passion, such as music or law
