Objectives

• To train and produce graduates who are suitably
  educated to pursue a developing career in one or
  more of the following areas
• Chemistry
• environmental biology
• applied microbiology and biotechnology
• and to meet local and regional requirements in
  the industrial, commercial, government or
  education sectors.

Start your career here.

• Upon graduation, you are expected to make a
  significant contribution to environmental
  conservation and protection in Hong Kong, both in
  the government and private sectors.
• You can seek employment in various government
  departments (e.g., Environmental Protection
  Department Government Laboratory Agriculture,
  Fisheries and Conservation Department),
  consultancy companies, laboratories, the
  commercial, industrial, or educational sectors,
  or you can further pursue postgraduate studies.

What will you be studying?

• In Year 1, you will concentrate on learning the
  fundamentals that underpin environmental science
  especially those related to biology and
  chemistry.
• In Years 2 and 3, your choice of courses enables
  you to study more detailed areas of environmental
  science and management. Some of the required
  courses include
• Environmental Sampling and Risk Assessment (where
  you will learn how scientists make measurements
  related to environmental matters, how they
  analyse their data, and how they predict
  outcomes)
• Environmental Pollution (the study of
  contaminants in our environment, and how they
  affect living organisms including humans)
• Environmental Law (how we legislate to maintain
  our environmental quality)
• Economics of the Environment (how environmental
  management is intimately linked to economic
  matters) and
• Earth Systems (how our planet's biogeochemistry
  fits together).
• Advanced elective courses are also available
• Quality and Environmental Management
• Environmental Policy and Ethics
• Environmental Microbiology
• Environmental Impact Assessment
• Environmental Toxicology
• Environmental Conservation and Resources
  Management and Marine Biology.

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes

• Upon successful completion of the BSc (Hons) in
  Environmental Science and Management Programme,
  students should be able to

• Describe the general biological and chemical
  principles appropriate to the study of
  environmental topics, including global
  environmental phenomena, environmental
  microbiology, ecology, toxicology and pollution.
• Competently perform a wide range of technical
  skills in environmental measurement and analysis,
  conservation and resource management, pollution
  control, waste treatment, impact assessment and
  quality management.
• Critically evaluate experiments in the
  Environmental Sciences as reported in the
  literature and communicate these evaluations
  effectively.
• Identify, comprehend and reflect upon the
  responsibility of environmental scientists in
  society, with particular emphasis on the
  protection of the living environment, and
  application of the principles of sustainable
  development and green production.
