Honours in Natural Resource Management
An Honours in Natural Resource Management provides you with advanced training and the skills needed to manage natural resource systems and help conserve the environment. Numerous career paths are open to graduates, with key employers including Commonwealth and State departments and agencies with responsibilities in the area of environment, conservation, climate change policy, agriculture and food, primary industries etc., as well as private sector firms working in the resource sector and primary industries, and non-governmental organisations such as Landcare.
