理学学士（高级）（荣誉学位）-土壤科学

土壤科学研究涵盖了土壤（我们最大的自然资源之一）的形成方式，并研究了土壤在环境，土地保护和恢复问题中的作用。土壤科学是一个多学科的研究领域，结合了物理学，化学，生物学以及土壤学（天然土壤科学）和地貌学（地球表面物理特征的研究）的综合主题。土壤科学荣誉年是一项很大程度上独立的研究活动，涉及与一位或多位主管协商设计一个研究项目。希望了解土壤的形成方式，土壤在环境中的作用，其在农业生产中的作用以及土地保护和恢复的合格学生可以使用它。本课程旨在使您有机会探索自己的研究事业潜力，因为您将大量时间花在研究选定的项目主
The honours year in Science is a widely recognised and highly regarded additional year of undergraduate study available to you after you complete your undergraduate course. It's a unique opportunity for you to explore your research potential and put the theory from your undergraduate studies into practice. An honours qualification in science is not only well regarded in academia, but also in industry where laboratory experience and a command of scientific thought processes are highly sought after. Honours can be undertaken in any area of Science, and involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science (eg. physiology and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.<br><br>Soil Science and Hydrology furthers students expertise in soil, water and climate, and their links with functional, resilient and productive ecosystems. Soil, water and climate define the physical constraints to ecosystems, and the interpreting of these along with their costs and benefits supports the development of policy and sustainable management strategies. This knowledge will help secure our soil and water resources to maintain healthy, functional and productive ecosystems.
