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) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
