+ Class of 2018 Environmental Science Programme (established 1994)
+ Career Prospects 2 The Programme is designed for students interested in environmental science and its applications in strategic planning, policy development, pollution control and waste treatment, biodiversity, conservation, toxicology and environmental health. We prepare our graduates with a high level of competence in scientific understanding of the environmental issues and a proper handling of the appropriate techniques in addressing these issues. The graduates are well prepared for employment in relevant government departments, commercial and industrial enterprises, environmental consultancy, green groups, and further studies in environmental science disciplines.
Career Prospects: Environmental Consultant (EIA) 3 Green Groups (NGO) and Environmental Education Government Department Officers, e.g. AFCD, EPD, etc. Accreditation, e.g. BEAM and BEAM Plus, Carbon audit, Chemical analysis of food or ecological samples, EM&A, etc. Commercial sectors: Compliance Engineer, HR and Sustainability Officer

ENSC Program Learning Outcomes (Revised on April 27, 2012) Upon completing the program, our students are able to advance in their studies and careers, and are able to: [1] work independently with good communication, analytical, research, and technical skills, with a sense of professionalism; [2] develop themselves as active researcher in various areas of environmental science; [3] adapt to the changing social and research environments to stay competitive in the job markets and further studies. For knowledge outcomes, upon completing the program, our students are able to: [4] possess the basic knowledge of related subjects, i.e. ecology, biodiversity, conservation, biochemistry and metabolism, toxicology and health, environmental chemistry and instrumental techniques for chemical analysis; [5] possess inter-disciplinary knowledge of related subjects, i.e. environmental management and pollution control, environmental impact assessments, concepts of molecular actions of chemicals, chemical techniques for environmental analyses; [6] possess specialized understanding of related subjects or particular field of study in one of the following subjects: environmental biotechnology, marine environmental research, ecology and conservation biology, toxicology and health, chemical treatment and environmental chemistry; [7] use scientific approach and principles to understand environmental issues and propose solutions to tackle these issues. For skills outcomes, upon completing the program, our students be able to: [8] collect representative samples through field study and operate instruments for chemical analysis of environmental samples; [9] apply knowledge to the field of environmental control, conservation and protection of biodiversity; [10] orally communicate with others in an effective manner; [11] collect and analyze data,with adequate information technology skills, and draw conclusions from them; [12] communicate effectively in written format and formulate relevant hypothesis for problem solving in complex issues. For attitudes/values outcomes, upon completing the program, our students are able to: [13] analyze information collected to draw appropriate conclusions; [14] design experiments to test formulated hypothesis and draw appropriate conclusions; [15] aware of current environmental issues and criticize these issues in a logical manner, showing analytical skills for problem solving; [16] have a passion for transferring a sense of environmental protection to the general public and providing creative or innovative ideas from existing information; [17] work independently and also in a team, as a leader or regular group members, to tackle environmental problems; [18] adapt to the changing socio-economical, and research environments by constantly up-grading themselves.
