SCENV2200 Population and Community Ecology
Understanding the structure and dynamics of populations, and the structure and diversity of communities is fundamental in environmental and conservation science. Population and Community Ecology develops students' understanding of the factors that shape species populations and communities. Students examine how populations grow and change through time, and how species and populations, in turn, interact to determine community structure and dynamics. Practical exercises are used to examine the ecology of populations and communities, putting theoretical learning into practice.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
