荣誉科学学士-生态与生物多样性

增进您对植物多样性的了解
Advance your understanding of the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms that live on earth. You might choose to explore topics such as the measurement and analysis of biological diversity, or the physical and biological processes in ecology and population genetics using molecular biology tools. Delve further into plant ecology and conservation, animal ecology and behaviour, and evolution. Or you could focus on how polluted waterways can affect the environment, examine soil salinisation and ocean acidification, or analyse rising UV and carbon dioxide levels and changes in our climate. There is an urgent worldwide effort to research and address the problems created by human activities that are affecting the survival of many species. Taught by the School of Biological Sciences, you'll study at the number one ranked tertiary institution in New Zealand for overall research quality in ecology. Extend your knowledge in a specialised field of science and boost your career opportunities with a BSc(Hons). You'll complete an intensive one-year programme and gain the advanced theoretical knowledge and skills you need to pursue a scientific career. Develop your skills in research design and implementation, critical thinking, data analysis and scientific communication. You'll take courses worth a total of 120 points, including a 30-point research project for most subjects. The research project will give you practical training in research methods and experience in the process of creating scientific knowledge. It will also set you up with the skills you need to go on to complete a Master's or PhD programme.
