SCENV3912 Environmental Assessment
This unit is specifically designed to teach the skills required for a career in the environmental consulting and other professions in the environment industry. Students will become familiar with the legislation that influences the management of the environment and native vegetation. There is a specific focus on the stae and federal legislation that impacts on Victoria, though we also consider differences in legislation in other parts of the world. Students will learn how to gather environmental information from a range of sources, and will learn some important environmental survey and assessment processes and techniques. Students will conduct several simulated professional tasks, including applying for an environmental tender, and preparing an Environmental Impact Statement. We aim to provide students with a broad view of the environment industry, the type of work available, and the skills required to enter the environmental workforce.
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.
