Bachelor of Science majoring in Soil Science

The Bachelor of Science challenges you to think critically about societal and environmental challenges and provide informed, evidence-based solutions.

Your major in Soil Science will explore how soil forms, what it's made of and how it behaves. Answer essential questions of soil science that impact ecosystems and humans. How can we improve soil fertility for sustainable agriculture? How do we protect soils during construction and urban development? What can be done to restore degraded soils and contaminated sites? Gain practical skills using the latest technology in geographical information systems, remote sensing and spatial modelling that will allow you to monitor landscape distributions.

You’ll become an expert in ensuring the long-term sustainability of soils to protect our future planet. Graduate ready to work across diverse sectors including agriculture, mining, academia, land development or government.
