SCENV3912 Environmental Assessment

This advanced unit equips students with the specialised knowledge and skills required for professional practice in environmental consulting and related sectors. Emphasis is placed on interpreting and applying state, federal and relevant international legislation, with a focus on Victorian environmental and biodiversity regulations. Students will develop competence in gathering and analysing environmental data, applying survey techniques, and preparing industry-standard documentation. Authentic professional tasks¿such as developing an environmental tender and producing an Environmental Impact Assessment¿are supported through secure, practice-based assessments. Graduates will gain practical skills in policy evaluation, compliance, and sustainable decision-making, preparing them for careers in the environmental industry.

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).

2027 contribution amount* $1,192
2027 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ 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 Psychology and Social Work 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.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree. Find our more about domestic tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. Find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule.
