... University of the Sunshine Coast

Course Overview

Care about how animals are impacted by the environment and humans, and what we can do to protect their future? Develop analytical and research skills to better understand conservation and management.

In this program you will:

  • Gain hands-on experience from your first year with fieldwork to North Stradbroke Island and your local region

  • Build your knowledge of animal conservation, biodiversity and animal behaviour

  • Work with leading researchers on field trips and in the laboratory, becoming work-ready

  • Undertake a guided research project in Animal Ecology, working as an intern animal ecologist as part of your studies, or take advantage of opportunities to travel abroad

General Eligibility

For entry into most USC undergraduate degree programs, you need to have completed a minimum level of education similar to successful completion of Australian Year 12 with good grades.

Further studies, for example, a semester or more at college or university, can also be considered for entry and may give you credit transfer towards a degree.

Some examples of upper secondary qualifications and a guide to the minimum grades that USC will consider are listed here. These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee entry. Some programs may require higher grades. Alternative qualifications may also be considered on a case by case basis.
