Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Data Science

Course Overview

About This Course

Some courses in this program are scheduled to be offered at the Treasury Building at our Brisbane City campus in 2027. If scheduled opening is delayed, courses may be delivered all or in part at our other Brisbane locations.

Designed for future problem-solvers, this double degree brings together scientific knowledge, analytical thinking and the technical skills needed to understand and respond to complex environmental challenges. As global datasets grow and environmental issues become increasingly data driven, you'll be equipped with the tools to interpret information, make evidence-based decisions and contribute to meaningful change.

You'll benefit from flexible study pathways, tailored academic support and mentoring as you develop practical skills in unique natural environments. At Griffith, you'll learn in a living lab, as our campuses are surrounded by bushland, waterways and marine ecosystems, giving you direct exposure to real environmental systems with sustainability and environmental responsibility embedded throughout your studies.

Highlights of studying the Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Data Science

Learn how to collect, analyse and interpret environmental data using industry-standard modelling, programming and visualisation tools.
Build strong foundations in environmental systems through extensive fieldwork and practical learning, including labs, ecology surveys, water and soil studies, GIS and immersive field trips.
Gain hands-on experience through applied research, industry projects, internships and opportunities to learn in living labs and unique environments, from bushland and waterways on our very own campuses to fieldwork on Heron Island.

Hear From the Students

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
